Vedclass · Answer

(C) Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. This law holds true only when the genes are located on different (non-homologous) chromosomes or are very far apart on the same chromosome. If genes are linked (located close together on the same chromosome),they tend to be inherited together,which violates the Law of Independent Assortment. Therefore,the presence of linked genes on homologous chromosomes does not support this law.
