    Question

    The Law of Segregation states

    that: 
    A Each gene has two alleles that separate during gamete formation Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Alleles of different genes assort independently of each other Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The expression of a trait is influenced by multiple genes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The dominant allele masks the recessive allele in a heterozygote Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Each gene has two alleles that separate during gamete formation. 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.” Law of segregation is the second law of inheritance.
