Can independent assortment be demonstrated in a monohybrid cross?
Correct answer: D. No, you must examine the transmission of two or more genes
- A. Yes, you can observe random distribution of alleles into gametes
- B. Yes, you can observe random assortment of genes into gametes
- C. No, you must observe genes that are on the same chromosome
- D. No, you must examine the transmission of two or more genes
Explanation
Therefore, Mendel's law of independent assortment can be demonstrated by a dihybrid cross. Monohybrid cross - Cross is made between a homozygous dominant parent to another homozygous recessive parent on the basis of one character. By using this cross Mendel postulated the Law of dominance and the Law of Segregation.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
