Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these pertains to Mendel’s law of independent assortment?
A
observable characteristics of a trait
B
protein production
C
random distribution of alleles
D
separation of alleles during 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: -Law of Independent Assortment Overview This law describes the random inheritance of genes from maternal and paternal sources. According to the Law of Segregation, each chromosome is separated from its homolog, or counterpart, during meiosis.

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: -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.”

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. The random organisation of chromosomes in the middle of the cell during the first stage of meiosis, which further increases genetic diversity.
