Question

in human genetics, the allele for having freckles is inherited apart from the allele for having attached earlobes. which one of mendels principles does this illustrate?

principle of alleles

principle of dominance

principle of segregation

principle of independent assortment

Explanation:

Mendel's principle of independent assortment states that the alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. In this case, the allele for freckles and the allele for attached earlobes (two different genes) are inherited independently. The principle of alleles is not a standard Mendelian principle name. The principle of dominance refers to one allele masking the effect of another. The principle of segregation refers to alleles of a single gene separating during gamete formation.

Answer:

principle of independent assortment
