Question

Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that ____________.
A)segregation of an allelic pair for one trait has no effect on segregation of alleles for another trait
B)an organism's two alleles for a gene separate from one another during gamete formation
C)segregation of an allelic pair for one trait has a great effect on segregation of alleles for another trait
D)an organism's three alleles for a gene separate from one another during gamete formation
E)gametes are diploid and highly variable

Accepted Answer

Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that segregation of an allelic pair for one trait has no effect on segregation of alleles for another trait. This means that the inheritance of two different traits is not linked and occurs independently of each other.
