Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Says that alternate forms of a gene separate during the formation of gametes and do not mix to form a new trait
A
Law of Segregation
B
Law of Independent Assortment
C
Parental generation
D
Chromosome Theory of Inheritance
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel’s law of segregation states that: “During the formation of gamete, each gene separates from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.” Law of segregation is the second law of inheritance.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. Law of dominance: A dominant gene will express itself over the recessive gene. 2. Law of segregation: Parental genes are randomly separated to the germ cells such that each germ cell receives only one gene from each pair.

Detailed explanation-3: -1: The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate randomly into gametes: When gametes are formed, each allele of one parent segregates randomly into the gametes, such that half of the parent’s gametes carry each allele.

Detailed explanation-4: -The law of segregation states that every individual possesses two alleles and only one allele is passed on to the offspring. The law of independent assortment states that the inheritance of one pair of genes is independent of inheritance of another pair.
