Mendel's law of segregation states that:
Correct answer: A. Two factors for the same trait separate in the production of gametes
- A. Two factors for the same trait separate in the production of gametes
- B. Two different traits will be inherited independently of each other
- C. Gametes are produced by meiosis
- D. All of the above
Explanation
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.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
