Q. No.Match the Mendel’s Laws given in Column-I with their correct definition in Column-II and select the correct match from the codes given:
Codes:
| Column-I | Column-II | ||
| A. | Law of dominance |
P. | During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. |
| B. | Law of segregation |
Q. | In a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. |
| C. | Law of independent assortment | R. | Genes of different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. |

Consider the given two statements:
| I: | In a test cross, the allele the individual in question [one that expresses the dominant phenotype] passes on, determines the phenotype of the offspring. |
| II: | The homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct and II explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
| 4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
