4. Which one of the following is false?

5. Mendel's law of independent assortment states that
A) chromosomes sort independently of each other during mitosis and meiosis.
B) genes sort independently of each other in animals but not in plants.
C) independent sorting of genes produces polyploid plants under some
circumstances.
