It is said that Mendel proposed that the factor controlling any character is discrete and independent. His proposition was based on the:
 

1. results of the F3 generation of a cross
2. observations that the offspring of a cross made between the plants having two contrasting characters shows only one character without any blending
3. self-pollination of F1 offspring
4. cross-pollination of F1 generation with recessive parent

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): When two pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, segregation of one pair of characters is independent of the other pair of characters.
Reason (R): During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other.
 
1. (A) is True but (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
4. (A) is False but (R) is True

Identify the incorrect statement:
1. Mendel found the phenotype of the F1 heterozygote Tt to be exactly like the TT parent in appearance.
2. He proposed that in a pair of dissimilar factors, one dominates the other.
3. It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of an alphabetical symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness.
4. It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of different alphabets symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness.

Evaluate the following statements and choose the correct option regarding the principles of inheritance:
I: If both parents are carriers for an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, there is a 25% chance that any child they have will express the disorder.
II: In Incomplete dominance, the F2 phenotypic and genotypic ratios are identical.
III: Codominance involves the expression of both alleles at a locus in a heterozygote.
IV: A testcross involves crossing a homozygous recessive individual with an individual whose genotype is unknown.
1. I, II and III are correct. 
2. II, III and IV are correct. 
3. I, III and IV are correct. 
4. All statements are correct.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Although Mendel published his work on inheritance of characters in 1865 but it remained unrecognised till 1900.
Reason (R): In 1900, three Scientists, Avery, Macleod, McCarty, independently rediscovered Mendel’s results on the inheritance of characters.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
