The physiological basis of pleiotropy is:
| 1. | lack of independent assortment in linked genes |
| 2. | separation of homologous chromosomes at anaphase I in meiosis I |

After analysis of results drawn from his experiments with pea plants, Mendel concluded:
| 1. | There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas. |
| 2. | Traits are inherited in discrete units, and are not the results of "blending." |
| 3. | Recessive genes occur more frequently in the F1 than do dominant ones. |
| 4. | Genes are composed of DNA. |
