The law of Segregation is based on the fact that

1. The alleles do not show any blending

2. There is random fertilization

3. Gametes are pure for the trait

4. The zygotes are diploid

In case of starch synthesis in pea seeds [controlled by B gene], BB homozygotes produce large and round starch grains; bb homozygotes produce smaller and wrinkled starch grains and Heterozygotes produce round seeds of intermediate size. What can be inferred from this observation?

(1) The gene B mutates at a faster rate.

(2) The gene B is easily influenced by the environment

(3) Dominance is not an autonomous feature of a gene or the product that it has information for

(4) Some genes do not follow the law of segregation
