### Step-by-Step Text Solution: 1. **Understanding Mendel's Laws of Inheritance**: - Mendel's laws, particularly the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment, describe how alleles segregate during gamete formation. The Law of Independent Assortment states that genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other. 2. **Genes on the Same Chromosome**: - If the genes Mendel studied were located on the same chromosome, they would not assort independently. This is because genes that are physically close together on a chromosome tend to be inherited together, a phenomenon known as genetic linkage. ...

Which of these characters selected by Mendel are located on the same chromosomes ?

A pea plant is heterozygous for a character and recessive homozygous for another character. Both these characters are located on different chromosomes . Another pea plant of the same species is heterozygous for both the characters. If these plants are crossed , what proportion of their offsprings will be heterozygous only for one character ?

A : Mendel gave postulates like "principles of segregation and principles of independent assortment" after studying seven pairs of contrasting traits in garden pea. R : He was lucky in selecting seven characters in pea that were located on seven different chromosomes.

The genes controlling the seven pea characters studied by Mendel are now known to located on how many different chromosomes?
