Which one of the following cannot be explained on the basis of Mendel's Law of Dominance?

2. Out of one pair of factors, one is dominant, and the other recessive.
3. Alleles do not show any blending and both the characters recover as such in the F2 generation.
4. Factors occur in pairs.

Study the pedigree chart given below:



What does it show?

1. Inheritance of a sex-linked inborn error of metabolism
2. Inheritance of a condition like phenylketonuria as an
autosomal recessive trait
3. The pedigree chart is wrong as this is not possible
4. Inheritance of a recessive sex-linked disease like
haemophilia
