Question

How do Mendel's experiment show that traits are inherited independently?

Answer 1

hey,

here is your answer,

Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other. Mendel observed that, when peas with more than one trait were crossed, the progeny did not always match the parents. This is because different traits are inherited independently – this is the principle of independent assortment.

Answer 2

Sol:

According to law of independent assortment, factors of different pairs of contrasting characters do not influence each other. They are independent of one another in their assortment to form a new combination during gamete formation.

Dihybrid inheritance

It is the simultaneous inheritance of two individual characters of the same organism.

Dihybrid inheritance is the experimentation of two characteristics with their four contrasting traits.

For instance, dihybrid inheritance involves a plant producing round and yellow seeds (RR and YY) crossing with a plant producing wrinkled green seeds (rr and yy).

*F1 progeny produces round and yellow seeds (R and r, and Y and y) in which round and yellow are dominant traits.

*F2 progeny were similar to their parents and produced round yellow seeds, while some of them produced wrinkled green seeds. However, some plants of the F2 progeny even showed new combinations, like round-green seeds and wrinkled-yellow seeds.
