Mendel studied seven pea plant traits studied. These all were in line with the principle of independent assortment. What does this most probably indicate? None of the traits obeyed the law of segregation. All of the genes controlling the traits were located on the same chromosome. The diploid number of chromosomes in the pea plants was 7. All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were on different chromosomes. The formation of gametes in plants occurs by mitosis only.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
