Question

Of the following Ideas postulated by Gregor Mendel, which one requires at least two genes to be demonstrated? Some alleles are recessive and are masked by dominant alleles. Traits are controlled by discrete units. Traits are not determined by blending. One of two alleles from each parent is randomly transmitted to offspring. Genes assort independently in diploids.

Answer 1

Answer:

Out of all the ideas postulated by Gregor Mendel as stated above the one that requires at least two genes to be demonstrated is “Genes assort independently in diploids.

Explanation:

A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes is called as the diploid cells. Mendel has stated that genes assort independently in diploids i.e.

The allele a gamete received for one gene does not in any way influence the allele received for another gene. Hence at least two genes is needed for its demonstration.
