Which one of the following cannot be explained on the basis of Mendel's Law of Dominance? 

• the discrete unit controlling a particular character is called a factor

• Out of one pair of factors, one is dominant and the other recessive

• Alleles do not show any blending and both the characters recover as such in F₂ generation

• dihybrid cross

• pedigree analysis

• pedigree analysis
