Q. No.If Mendel might have studied 7 pairs of characters in a plant with 12 chromosomes instead of 14 then:
1.
He could not discover an independent assortment
2.
He might have discovered linkage
3.
He might have discovered crossing over
4.
He might have not observed dominance
A gene is said to be dominant if:
| 1. | It expresses its effect only in the homozygous stage |
| 2. | It expresses only in heterozygous condition |
| 3. | It expresses both in homozygous and heterozygous conditions |
| 4. | It is never expressed in any condition |

2. multiple-allele inheritance
3. polygenic inheritance
4. sex-linked inheritance

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 |
| 3. | dominance is not an autonomous feature of an allele |
| 4. | inter-relationships of many metabolic pathways in the living organisms |
