Answer 1 - FALSE
Mendel was named as the father of genetics. He worked on the inheritance of traits in peas in 1866. He stated that the traits are not blended but rather remain distinct in subsequent generations. Hence the above statement is false.
Answer 2 - Chromosome randomly segregate into a sex cell
Mendel studied the inheritance of traits in the plant. He stated 3 laws i.e the law of dominance, the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. In the law of segregation, he states that allele pairs are separate /segregate during gamete formation (formation of sex cells) and they unite randomly during fertilization.

98 Mendelian Genetics Exercise D: Mendel's Dihybrid Cross But wait there's morel Mender's monohybrid crosses established that inheritance of phenotypes happened by the interactions of discrete particles' (we now call alleles). Further, he discovered that those alleles segregate during the process of meiosis in the production of gametes, which recombine during fertilization. The result of these two insights can easily be predicted by a technique developed by R. C. Punnett. Once these principles were established, Mendel sought to understand how...
Circle the correct answer, there may be more than one correct answer 1. Diploid Organisms: a) typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes b) are heterozygous for a trait when they carry different alleles c) carry 2 copies of chromosomes d) are homozygous for a trait when they carry different alleles 2. Why are garden peas a good subject for Mendel's experiments? a) garden peas had either or traits b) garden pess could self-pollinate to produce offspring of the same variety...
