Which of the following statements indicates parallelism in genes and chromosomes?
(i) They occur in pairs
(ii) They segregate during gamete formation
(iii) They show linkage
(iv) Independent pairs segregate independently

A

(I) and (III)

B

(II) and (III)

C

(I), (II) and (III)

D

(I), (II) and (IV)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Apart from linkage, the genes and chromosomes show parallelism in almost all departments mentioned here. Occurrence in pairs, independent segregation is displayed by both of them. But inheritance of closely linked ones isn.t common to both of them.
