Mendel Claimed That Transmission from Parent to Offspring of Alleles

question 3

Multiple Choice

Mendel claimed that transmission from parent to offspring of alleles of a given gene is independent for each gene and its alleles. What does this mean?

• A) If a parent has the genotype Aa for one gene and aB for another gene, the a allele is more likely to be passed on because it corresponds to a dominant allele on another gene.
• B) Dominant alleles in different loci are organized to enhance their likelihood of being passed on, a process called codominance.
• C) Dominant alleles act independently of recessive alleles.
• D) With the exception of genes on the same chromosome, the probability of transmission of a gene is unrelated to the transmission of other alleles on different genes.
