Solution

The correct option is C 3, 1 and 2

Mendel's Laws of Heredity are usually stated as: 1)The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair.Parental genes are randomly separated to the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one gene of the pair. Offspring therefore inherit one genetic allele from each parent when sex cells unite in fertilization. 2)The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another. 3)The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene will express the form that is dominant. The genetic experiments Mendel did with pea plants took him eight years (1856-1863) and he published his results in 1865.

Chromosomal theory: The end of the nineteenth century was marked by advancements in cytological techniques and microscopy. During this period, German embryologist Theodor Boveri took Flemming's findings to the next level by providing the first evidence that chromosomes of germ cell lineage provide continuity between generations.
The Hershey Chase experiments were a series of experiments conducted in 1952 to prove DNA as genetic material. The Hershey Chase experiments were a series of experiments conducted in 1952 to prove DNA as genetic material.
So, the correct answer is '3, 1 and 2'
