Answer:

B. the alleles each parent can contribute in their gametes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This observation forms the second principle of inheritance, the principle of segregation, which states that the two alleles for each gene are physically segregated when they are packaged into gametes, and each parent randomly contributes one allele for each gene to its offspring.
