A.
Law of segregation
B.
Laws of independent assortment
Answer
C.

D.
Laws of incomplete dominance

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
If Mendel had found the linkage genes in his studied traits he could not be able to formulate the Laws of independent assortment.
Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.
It is the most prominent exception to Gregor Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment. Gregor Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that every trait is inherited independently of every other trait.
