The law of dominance is illustrated in the garden pea by:
Correct answer: E. Homozygous tall x Pure short
- A. Homozygous tall x Heterozygous tall
- B. Heterozygous tall x Heterozygous tall
- C. Homozygous tall x Homozygous tall
- D. Pure short x Pure short
- E. Homozygous tall x Pure short

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.
