Question

During Meiosis, the alleles on each gene will separate individually into the gametes. This means that no matter what alleles were paired together in the parent, each gamete receives one allele. Mendel stated this to be the Law of **

Independent Assortment
Independent Segregation
Gene Regulation
Gene Assortment

Answer 1

Independent Assortment

Answer 2

Answer;

Independent Segregation

Step-by-step explanation;

• According to Mendel's law of segregation, a sperm or egg carries only one allele for each inherited trait because allele pairs separate from each other during the production of gametes. Independent segregation occurs as a result of separation of homologous chromosomes during anaphase I of meiosis I.
• The law of independent assortment on the other hand, states that each pair of alleles separate independently of the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation. Independent assortment results from the orientation of homologous chromosomes in metaphase I of meiosis I.
