KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 12 - 4. Principles of Inheritance and Variation
Mendel found that the reciprocal crosses yielded identical results. From that he concluded that
- A there is independent assortment of trait
- B sex plays a role in deciding the dominance of a trait
- C there is no dominance of any trait
- D sex has no influence on the dominance of traits
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) sex has no influence on the dominance of traits
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(D) sex has no influence on the dominance of traits,
Mendel's observation that reciprocal crosses produce identical results led him to conclude that the inheritance of traits is not influenced by the sex of the parent. This means that the dominance of trait is independent of whether they come from the male or female parent, leading to the conclusion that sex has no influence on the dominance of traits.
