Laws of segregation and dominance were given by ________?
Correct answer: C. Mendel
- A. Darwin
- B. Morgan
- C. Mendel
- D. De Vries
Explanation
Gregor Mendel formulated the law of segregation, which states that the two alleles of a gene separate during gamete formation, and the law of dominance, which describes how one allele can mask another in a heterozygote. Students may choose Morgan because he also studied inheritance, but Morgan is mainly associated with gene linkage and crossing over.
