If Mendel might have studied 7 pairs of characters in a plant with 12 chromosomes instead of 14 then:
1. | He could not discover an independent assortment |
2. | He might have discovered linkage |
3. | He might have discovered crossing over |
4. | He might have not observed dominance |
Mental retardation in man occurs due to:
