Vedclass · Answer

(C) Mendel's Law of Dominance states that in a dissimilar pair of factors (alleles),one member of the pair dominates (dominant) the other (recessive). Option $C$ is incorrect because it states that in a 'similar' pair of factors,one dominates the other,whereas dominance only occurs in a 'dissimilar' (heterozygous) pair. In a homozygous (similar) pair,both factors are identical,so there is no dominance relationship between them.
