Mendel studied the inheritance of phenotypic characters determined by seven pairs of alleles. It is an interesting coincidence that the pea plant also has seven pairs of chromosomes. What is the probability that no two of the traits studied by Mendel were determined by genes located on the same pair of chromosomes? Solution Ans.) Mendel studied the garden pea (Pisum sativum) for two main purposes. The first reason, peas were easily available. Second was peas can be both self (self-pollinate) or be cross-pollinated. The peas self pollinate because the anthers (produce the pollen) and ovaries (ovules containing eggs) of the flower are enclosed by two petals fused to form a compartment known as keel. The peas can be cross-pollinated with any two pea plants. The anthers from one plant are removed before they have opened to shed their pollen, by the process of emasculation to prevent selfing. Then, pollens are transferred to the receptive stigma with a paintbrush or on anthers themselves. Hence, the experimenter can choose to self or to cross the pea plants. It is evident from all the analysis and research that no two of the traits studied by Mendel were determined by genes located on the same pair of chromosomes. Only inked genes are located on the same chromosome are inherited together in genetic crosses. It is also proved by the three different laws of Mendel..

Solution
Ans.)
Mendel studied the garden pea (Pisum sativum) for two main purposes. The first reason, peas
were easily available. Second was peas can be both self (self-pollinate) or be cross-pollinated.
The peas self pollinate because the anthers (produce the pollen) and ovaries (ovules containing
eggs) of the flower are enclosed by two petals fused to form a compartment known as keel. The
peas can be cross-pollinated with any two pea plants. The anthers from one plant are removed
before they have opened to shed their pollen, by the process of emasculation to prevent selfing.
Then, pollens are transferred to the receptive stigma with a paintbrush or on anthers themselves.
Hence, the experimenter can choose to self or to cross the pea plants.
It is evident from all the analysis and research that no two of the traits studied by Mendel were
determined by genes located on the same pair of chromosomes. Only inked genes are located on
the same chromosome are inherited together in genetic crosses. It is also proved by the three
different laws of Mendel.
