Question

1. mendels law of (i)____ states that the two alleles for each gene separate during gamete formation so that each gamete receives only one allele. his law of (ii)__ explains that genes for different traits are inherited independently when chromosomes align during meiosis. together, these laws explain (iii)____ in offspring.

blank (i)
a. mutation
b. codominance
c. segregation
blank (ii)
d. recombination
e. dominance
f. independent assortment
blank (iii)
g. genetic variation
h. blending inheritance
i. identical inheritance

Explanation:

• Mendel's Law of Segregation: It is about alleles separating during gamete formation.
• Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment: Deals with independent inheritance of genes for different traits during meiosis.
• Genetic variation: These two laws together explain how genetic variation occurs in offspring.

Answer:

C. Segregation, F. Independent assortment, G. Genetic variation
