2022 · Q43

NEETBiologyPrinciples of Inheritance and VariationMCQ+4 / −1

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Mendel's law of independent assortment does not hold good for the genes that are located closely on the same chromosome.

Reason (R) : Closely located genes assort independently.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A
    Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  2. B

  3. C
    (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
  4. D
    (A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Correct answer: C

Closely located genes do not show independent assortment. Mendel's law of independent assortment holds good for those genes which are located on different chromosomes.
