D Sex is determined by chance
12. A cross between a tall pea-plant (TT) and a short pea-plant (tt) resulted in progenies that were all tall
plants because
A Tallness is the recessive trait.

seeds produced in F1 generation are:
A Round and yellow B Round and green
C Wrinkled and green D Wrinkled and yellow

20. Mendel's Law of Segregation states that:

two alleles.
B Two alleles for each trait, segregate (separate) during meiosis in such a way that each gamete contains
only one of the alleles.
C Two alleles for two trait, segregate (separate) during meiosis in such a way that each gamete contains
only all the alleles.

A Located on the same chromosome B Located on different chromosomes
C Linked genes D All
23. In a dihybrid cross, Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment predicts:
A Alleles for separate traits are passed independently of one another.
B Alleles for the same traits separate during gamete formation.
C Homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis.
D Genes located on the same chromosome assort independently during gamete formation.
