That the pairing and separation of a pair of chromosomes would lead to the segregation of a pair of factors they carried is the argument that formed the basis for:

| 2. | the concept of Linkage |
| 3. | the chromosomal theory of inheritance. |
| 4. | the One Gene One Enzyme hypothesis. |

When the two genes in a dihybrid cross were situated on the same chromosome:
| 1. | the proportion of parental gene combinations were much lower than the non-parental type. |
| 2. | the proportion of parental gene combinations were much higher than the non-parental type. |
| 3. | the proportion of parental gene combinations were equal to the non-parental type. |
| 4. | only the parental gene combinations were seen in the progeny. |

Regarding the law of independent assortment:
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
| Statement I: | Because of independent assortment and dominance, the 9:3:3:1 dihybrid phenotypic ratio can be collapsed into two 3:1 ratios, characteristic of any monohybrid cross that follows a dominant and recessive pattern. |
| Statement II: | The law of independent assortment also indicates that a cross between yellow, wrinkled (YYrr) and green, round (yyRR) parents would yield the same F1 and F2 offspring as in the YYRR x yyrr cross. |
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
