1) Which of the following statements correctly describes the Law of Independent Assortment?

a. A large Punnett square can be used to predict the outcome of a parental cross involving two traits.

b. Sometimes all alleles lack dominance, which leads to a blending of traits.

c. Non-allelic genes do not affect each other if they are located on separate chromosomes.

d. The dominant allele is represented with an uppercase letter and the recessive allele is represented with a lowercase letter.




2) In garden pea plants, tall stem height (T) is dominant over short stem height (t), and green pod colour (G) is dominant over yellow pod colour (g).
