Question

A scientist crossed a blue-flowered plant with a red-flowered plant in order to observe the inheritance patterns of flower color. What additional step should the scientist complete in order to test Mendel's law of independent assortment?
Group of answer choices

She should study the inheritance patterns of a second generation.

She should study the inheritance patterns of a second trait.

She should study the inheritance patterns of another type of plant.

She does not need to complete another step.

Answer 1

Answer: She does not need to complete another step.

Explanation:

Mendel's 2nd law of inheritance is also known as law of independent assortment of genes.

It states that each character behaves as a SEPARATE unit and is inherited INDEPENDENTLY of any other character.

Therefore, the cross BETWEEN the blue-flowered plant with a red-flowered plant NEED NO OTHER step to explain inheritance pattern.
