Answer
class="solnbox"> class="solncont">Exceptions to Mendel's Laws:
(i) Incomplete Dominance - In few cases,$ F_1$ generation has an intermediate phenotype between dominant and recessive alleles.
(ii) Linkage - Genes on the same chromosomes are said to be linked and are inherited together.
(iii) Multiple Allelism - Each character may have more than two alleles which can't be explained by Mendel's laws.
