Question

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that which allele is passed down to the next generation at one locus is dependent on which allele is passed down to the next generation at another locus.

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment is about the random distribution of alleles of one gene during anaphase-I. It states that alleles of two or more genes segregate randomly to the poles of the cell. For example, the segregation of R and r alleles to the two poles of the cell would not affect the segregation of the T and t alleles. This random and independent segregation of alleles of different genes during anaphase-I produces new gene combinations in the progeny.
