Which one oft he following cannot be explained on the basis of Mendel's Law of Dominance?
The discrete unit controlling a particular character is called a factor
Out of one pair of factors one is dominant, and the other recessive
Alleles do not show any blending and both the characters recover as such in generation.
Factors occur in pairs
As learnt
Recessive gene or factor -
In a pair of dissimilar factors, one factor is recessive and other is dominant over other
- wherein
In Mendel's experiment, T(tallness) is dominant over t (dwarfness) That is recessive
AND
Dominant gene or factor -
In a pair of dissimilar factors, one dominates the other (as in F1) and hence called dominant factor.
- wherein
eg: phenotype of F1 heterozygote Tt to be exactly like TT parent in Appearance.
