What concept did Mendel's findings primarily support regarding hereditary factors?

In a dihybrid cross with two linked genes A and B, what is the expected phenotype ratio among the progeny?

How many distinct phenotypes are produced in the F2 generation of a Mendelian dihybrid cross?

If a person has an O blood group, what must be true about the genotypes of their parents who have A and B blood groups?

What ratio of genotypes is observed in the offspring of a Mendelian dihybrid cross?

The F1 offspring from a cross between two plants with contrasting traits display only one trait without blending. This observation supports which of Mendel's principles?

During a dihybrid cross, if two genes are unlinked, what would the expected phenotypic ratio be in the offspring?

Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding Mendelian inheritance?

Mendelian Genetics Overview

Mendel's proposition on inheritance suggested that genetic factors are discrete and independent, based upon observations from hybrid cross results.
Key experimental conclusions derived from contrasting character crosses showed non-blending offspring.

Dihybrid Crosses and Gene Linkage

In a dihybrid cross with linked genes A and B, crossing a heterozygous F1 individual with homozygous recessive (aa bb) yields a 1:1 ratio of offspring exhibiting traits from both gene pairs.
Understanding phenotypic ratios requires clear identification of dominant and recessive traits.

F2 Generation Traits

The F2 generation of a Mendelian dihybrid cross results in four distinct phenotypes and nine genotypes, showcasing genetic variability and combinations within offspring.

Blood Groups and Inheritance

When a person has an 'O' blood group, the possible genotypes of their parents include one parent being heterozygous for 'A' (i.e., AO) and the other being heterozygous for 'B' (i.e., BO).
