Question 241 of 519
📘 CLASS XII
Principles Of Inheritance And Variation
When males produce two different types of gametes (e.g., with or without X, or X and Y), this mechanism of sex determination is called male _______.
The production of two different types of gametes by males (either with or without X, or X and Y) is designated to be the example of male heterogamety.

Principles Of Inheritance And Variation
The Law of Independent Assortment was proposed by Mendel based on his observations on _______ crosses (crosses between plants differing in two traits).
Mendel proposed the Law of Independent Assortment based upon observations on dihybrid crosses, where the two pairs of traits segregated independently.
