Question
The Law of Independent Assortment fails when genes are:
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles of different genes assort independently during gamete formation. This holds true only if the genes are on different chromosomes (or very far apart on the same chromosome). Genes close together on the same chromosome (linked genes) do not assort independently.
Hint
Linked genes tend to be inherited together.
