All of the following are true about Mendel's law of independent assortment EXCEPT:
It occurs during metaphase I of meiosis
It explains the inheritance of two or more genes relative to one another
It produces new combinations of alleles
It applies only to genes located on the same chromosome

In a plant species that reproduces through apomixis, a mutation arises in a somatic cell that confers resistance to a fungal pathogen. What is the likelihood that this resistance trait will be passed on to the offspring?
Low, as somatic mutations are rarely heritable.
High, as apomixis bypasses meiosis and fertilization.
Dependent on whether the mutation is dominant or recessive.
Zero, as apomixis only involves the maternal gametophyte.
