Patterns of Inheritance

Which statement pertains to Mendel's law of segregation?

• Two alleles for each trait separate during meiosis.

• Homozygous organisms are called hybrids.

• Dominant traits are visible.

• Allele pairs are called a genotype.

Which of these pertains to Mendel's law of independent assortment?

• observable characteristics of a trait

• protein production

• random distribution of alleles

• separation of alleles during meiosis

Which statement is not true of genes located close together on the same chromosome?

• They are linked together.

• They do not segregate independently.

• They travel together during gamete formation.
