Question

which of the following represents the law of segregation in genetics? alleles for different traits segregate independently of all other alleles. dominant alleles are always masked by the recessive alleles. allele pairs randomly segregate when gametes are formed during meiosis

Explanation:

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation (meiosis) and randomly unite at fertilization. The first option describes the Law of Independent Assortment. The second option is incorrect as dominant alleles mask recessive ones, not the other way around.

Answer:

Allele pairs randomly segregate when gametes are formed during meiosis.
