Read the following statements regarding Mendelian inheritance and choose the correct option
1. Mendel's experiments had small sample size which gave greater credibility to the data
2. A true breeding line shows a stable trait inheritance and expression for several generations
3. In a dissimilar pair of factors, one member of the pair dominates over the other
4. A massive parental trait is expressed only in its heterozygous condition
5. Two alleles of a gene are located on homologous sites on homologous chromosomes
1.Mendel’s experiment had small sample size which gave greater credibility to the data – False, because, Mendel’s experiment had large sample size which gave greater credibility to the data.
2.A true breeding line shows a stable trait inheritance and expression for several generation – True
3.In a dissimilar pair of factors, one member of the pair dominates over the other – True.
4.A massive parental trait is expressed only in its heterozygous condition – False, because, in heterozygous condition, only one trait is expressed.
5.Two alleles of a gene are located on homologous sites on homologous chromosomes – True
So, the correct option is ‘2,3 and 5’.
