Question
This law describes how each homologous pair separates independently of any other pairs during Anaphase I of meiosis.
- Law of Segregation
- chromosomal abnormalities
- Law of Independent Assortment
- Law of Mathematical Order
Hint:
Can be explained using dihybrid cross.
The correct answer is: Law of Independent Assortment
Law of inheritance was proposed by Gregor Mendel. He established the:
- law of dominance
- law of segregation
- law of independent assortment
Law of independent assortment states that "the alleles of different genes are inherited independently within the organisms that reproduce sexually".
Independent assortment occurs during meiosis (during gamete formation). During the process, trait received by one gene does not influence the traits received by the other half.
The law of independent assortment was described by Mendel using dihybrid cross.
- Law of independent assortment was described by Gregor Mendel
- Segregation of individual traits occur during meiosis
- Independent assortment was described following dihybrid cross
