One of the laws that he assumed was that of independent assortment, in that genes will become transferred independently of one another. Molecular genetics and linkage maps show that if the genes were close together on the same chromosome, they are "linked" and will travel together. Thus, instead of observing multiple traits occurring "randomly" in his pea plants, he might have come to the conclusion that the seed texture depended on seed color.

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 of Mendels conclusions is a necessary foundation for Darwins theory of natural selection?

Mendel's conclusion on the segregation and independent assortment of traits laid the groundwork for Darwin's theory of natural selection by providing a mechanism for how variation is passed down from one generation to the next. This understanding of how traits are inherited allowed Darwin to propose that natural selection acts on this variation to drive the evolution of populations.


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

recessive trait


Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about mendels principles?

Inheritance is determined by discrete units passed down from parents to offspring. An individual receives one unit (allele) of a gene from each parent for a particular trait. Alleles can be dominant or recessive, affecting the expression of a trait in an individual. 4.Genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other.


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.
