Gregor Mendel examined the inheritance of two traits in pea plants; seed coat texture and colour. seed coat can be represented as smooth (S), and wrinkled (s). Seed coat can be represented as yellow (Y), and green (y). Plants with the genotype SSYY were crossed with ssyy plants to yield the first filial that were all smooth and all yellow. by crossing plants grown from these seeds, Mendel obtained four different phenotypes of second filial seeds: smooth and green seeds, wrinkled and green seeds, smooth and yellow seeds, and wrinkled and yellow seeds.

If the traits for seed coat texture and seed coat colour had been located close together on the same chromosome, Mendel might NOT have conceptualized

A. Law of Segregation
B. Gene pairs
C. Law of independent assortment
D. Dominance

C. Law of independent assortment

Much better...
