He did not have a powerful microscope
|
|
|
The characters he studied were present on different chromosomes
|
|
|
The characters he studied did show linkage but he missed it
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Since the genes were present on different chromosomes, and the ones present on the same chromosome were also situated far apart, he didn’t observe any linkage in the genes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mendel failed to discover linkage because seven characters chosen by him were.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘AABB × aabb’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct answer is linked genes. Genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome are referred to as linked genes. A chromosome consists of a large number of genes. All the genes that are located on the same chromosome are known as linked genes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mendel failed exams in Biology and Physics at University of Vienna to become a certified teacher. Even worse, in 1853 he failed exams to be a professor due to severe illness.
