1. Consider the following statement. 6. Mendel proposed that something was being
A. Number of gene loci on chromosome can stably passed down, unchanged, from parent to
be more than one offspring through the gametes, over successive
B. In one gene loci two allele is present in generations. He called these things as ______.
diploid organism (1) Factor (2) Gene
Mark the correct. (3) Allele (4) None of these
(1) only A (2) only B
(3) both A and B (4) both wrong 7. Among the given traits of Pisum sativum which
one is recessive trait–
