The correct option is B 2, 3 and 5 are correct

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’.
