The objection on chromosomal theory of inheritance was:
Correct answer: B. There are more gene but less chromosomes
- A. There are more chromosomes but less gene
- B. There are more gene but less chromosomes
- C. Each chromosome carry only one gene
- D. None of the above
Explanation
The objection was: If Mendelian characters are determined by genes located on the chromosomes, and if the independent assortment of Mendelian traits reflects the independent assortment of chromosomes in meiosis, why does the number of characters that assort independently in a given kind of organism often greatly exceed the number of chromosome pairs the organism possesses?
