Mendel was the first scientist to study the pattern of inheritance. He is known as the father of genetics and proposed the laws of inheritance. He selected pea plants (Pisum sativum) to carry out his study on the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring. Mendel carried the process of self-pollination followed by cross-pollination in his experiment. Which of these is a dominant trait?

State True or False (w.r.t Chromosomal theory of inheritance) (i) Both chromosomes as well as genes occur pairs in the somatic cells (ii) Both chromosomes as well genes segregate at the time of gamete formation such that complete pair is transmitted to a gamete (iii) Chromosomes are the carries of Mendel's factors (iv) The paired condition of both chromosomes as weel as Medellan factors is restored during microsporogenesis .

Read the following statements. (i) Morgan carried out several monohybrid crosses in Drosophila to study genes that were sex-linked. (ii) Morgan attributed that proportion of parental gene combination is less than the non-parental type due to the physical association.

Alfred Strutevent used the frequency of linkage between gene pairs on the same chromosome and fine genetic map. Select how many are incorrect statement(s).
