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:
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.
Codes:
A B C
1. Q R P
2. Q P R
3. P Q R
4. R Q P

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
