Question

which of mendels laws or principles explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups, or sets?
o the principle of dominance
o the law of independent assortment
o the law of segregation
o the principle of genetics

Explanation:

• The principle of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic.
• The law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
• The law of segregation states that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent. This law explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups, or sets.
• There is no "principle of genetics" among Mendel's laws.

Answer:

the law of segregation
