Question

Mendel did not deal with:

Options

• segregation

• linkage

• incomplete dominance

• both linkage and incomplete dominance

Answer 1

both linkage and incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Mendel did not deal with linkage and incomplete dominance. He formulated the laws of segregation and independent assortment based on traits that assort independently, which excluded linked genes. Also, Mendel's experiments involved dominant and recessive alleles without accounting for incomplete dominance, where heterozygotes show intermediate phenotypes. Hence, both linkage and incomplete dominance were beyond Mendel's study scope.
