If Mendel had chosen 'factors' to follow in his pea plants poorly, and had unwittingly chosen to
observe gene traits on the same chromosome:
a. which one of his laws would he not have been able to figure out? why?
Solution
Mendel performed classical experiments on pea plant considering following points:
Based upon these assumption, Mendel performed some experiments and resulted in following
conclusions:
Till that time, it was not known that these 'factors' were actually genes which are very active at
molecular levels. These genes can indeed show segregation and independent assortment but for
that to take place, a minimum prescribed distance should be present between two genes. If two
genes are located very close to each other, it is very highly probabale that these gene-pair will be
inherited as a single unit in the successive generations. Thus, the law of segregation and
independent assortment fails here.
Tthus, if Mendel was able to figure out the molecular nature of genes/factors, the laws of
segregation and resultantly, the law of independent assortmuent would have failed.
