NEET Biology question
Consider the following four statements I, II, III and IV and select the correct statements: I. Mendelian experiments has a large sampling size, which gave greater credibility to the data that he collected; II. Recessive allele influences the appearance of the phenotype even in the presence of a dominant allele; III. Multiple alleles can be found only when population studies are made; IV. In F2-generation of a Mendelian monohybrid cross, the tall and dwarf traits were identical to their parental types and shows blending inheritance.
Solution
Mendel's use of large sample sizes across many generations gave his data statistical credibility (I), and multiple alleles for a gene can indeed only be detected by surveying many individuals across a population, since any single diploid individual carries at most two alleles (III). Statement II is false, since a
