Which of the Following Statements is True

Question

Which of the following statements is true?
A)Mendel's laws are less accurate than Punnett square results.
B)Mendel's laws are useful only in unusual situations.
C)Mendel's laws correctly explain how genes are inherited.
D)Mendel's laws correctly predict the phenotype of an organism.

Accepted Answer

Mendel's laws correctly explain how genes are inherited. Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment have been extensively tested and have been found to accurately explain the inheritance patterns of genes. They are the foundation of modern genetics and are widely used in scientific research and practical applications. Punnett squares are a tool used to predict the probability of offspring genotypes and phenotypes based on Mendelian inheritance patterns, but they are not more accurate than Mendel's laws themselves.
