Answer:
No, this is not consistent with the principle of independent assortment.
Explanation:
The principle of independent assortment states that alleles from different genes assort independently. This means that if a plant has a genotype Aa Bb, all four alleles (A, a, B, and b) are going to segregate equally, so we will have the following four gametes after meiosis:
- AB
- Ab
- aB
- ab
If the researcher finds that two of the four products are AB, probably there would be a deviation of Mendel's laws.
