What does the principle of segregation in genetics state?
1. Alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
2. Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.
3. Each allele in a pair segregates into a different sex chromosome.
4. Phenotypes segregate during gamete formation, leading to genetic variation.

Consider the two statements:
I: In Incomplete Dominance, F1 has a phenotype that does not resemble either of the two parents and is in between the two.
II: In Co-Dominance, F1 has a phenotype that resembles both the parents.
 
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

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.
