Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of Mendel’s laws states that alleles are distributed to gametes independent of one another?
A
Law of Dominance
B
Law of Segregation
C
Law of Independent Assortment
D
Law of Meiosis
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. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -Principle of Independent Assortment Independent assortment principles describe that during the development of gametes, allele pairs are segregated, which means that the traits are passed to the offspring independently of one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Principle of Independent Assortment describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. Independent assortment of genes and their corresponding traits was first observed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Mendel’s Second Law-the law of independent assortment; during gamete formation the segregation of the alleles of one allelic pair is independent of the segregation of the alleles of another allelic pair.
