    Law of Mendel which is not completely applicable is

    A) co-dominance

    B) law of segregation

    C) law of independent assortment

    D) law of dominance

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Law of independent assortment is not completely applicable due to linkage. According to law of independent assortment, ?When the parents differ from each other in two or more pairs of contrasting characters or factor, then the inheritance of one pair of factor is independent to that of the other pair of factor? but the linked genes do not assort independently and tend to stay together in the same combination as they were in the parents. According to Mendels law of dominance. ?When the homozygous dominant plant crossed with homozygous recessive plant for a character, than the \[{{F}_{1}}\] plants were dominant (heterozygous). When the \[{{F}_{1}}\] plants were crossed than the dominant and recessive phenotype segregate in \[{{F}_{2}}\] generation this is called law of segregation. In law of co-dominance both dominant and recessive allele have some degree of phenotypic expression.
