The physiological basis of pleiotropy is:

1. lack of independent assortment in linked genes
2. separation of homologous chromosomes at anaphase I in meiosis I
3. dominance is not an autonomous feature of an allele
4. inter-relationships of many metabolic pathways in the living organisms

Drosophila melanogaster is a model organism for the study of genetics. The advantages of this organism include all the following except:

1. A long life cycle
2. A large number of progeny produced by a single mating
3. Clear differentiation between sexes
4. Hereditary variation is easily seen with low-power microscopes

After analysis of results drawn from his experiments with pea plants, Mendel concluded:

1. There is considerable genetic variation in garden peas.
2. Traits are inherited in discrete units, and are not the results of "blending."
3. Recessive genes occur more frequently in the F1 than do dominant ones.
4. Genes are composed of DNA.
