|
Some alleles are dominant over others.

|
|
Allele pairs separate during gamete formation and randomly unite at fertilization.
|

|
During gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other’s inheritance
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Detailed explanation-1: -What is the law of independent assortment? Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Law of Independent Assortment states that during a dihybrid cross (crossing of two pairs of traits), an assortment of each pair of traits is independent of the other. In other words, during gamete formation, one pair of trait segregates from another pair of traits independently.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gregor Mendel‘s law of segregation states that the two alleles separate or separate for each trait during gamete formation, and that alleles randomly combine with other alleles during the formation of new zygotes.
