Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

The Law of ____ states that separate genes for separate traits are passed independently of one another from parents to offspring.

A	Mendelian Inheritance
B	Independent Assortment
C	Segregation
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genes come in different versions, or alleles. A dominant allele hides a recessive allele and determines the organism’s appearance. When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one gene copy, which is selected randomly. This is known as the law of segregation.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
