A major deviation from mendels law occurs because of?

A major deviation from Mendel's laws, specifically the law of independent assortment, can occur due to genetic linkage. This is when genes located close together on the same chromosome are inherited together more often than expected. As a result, they do not assort independently as predicted by Mendel.


What are the three part of mendels hypothesis?

Mendel's three parts of his hypothesis are: the principle of segregation (alleles separate during gamete formation), the principle of independent assortment (traits are inherited independently of each other), and the principle of dominance (one allele is dominant over another).


In mendels experiment a trait that always disappeared in the f1 generation but reappeared in the f2 generation was called the?

recessive trait


Is it true that Mendels principles apply not to just to pea plants but to other organism as well?

Yes, Mendel's principles of inheritance, such as the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment, apply to many other organisms beyond pea plants. These principles have been found to hold true in various animals, plants, and even humans, demonstrating their widespread relevance in genetics.


What happened in mendels experiments when a pea received two different alleles for the same trait?

Unless the alleles are codominate (which Mendel did not have in pea plants), one will be dominate and will be what you see (phenotype) and one will be recessive and you will not see it.
