Question

which of mendels laws or principles states that gametes carry one allele for each trait?
principle of dominance
law of independent assortment
law of segregation
law of genetics

Explanation:

• The principle of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one allele (dominant) masks the effect of the other (recessive) for a trait, not about gamete allele content.
• The law of independent assortment concerns the independent segregation of different gene pairs during gamete formation, not the number of alleles per trait in gametes.
• The law of segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene segregate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each trait.
• "Law of genetics" is not a specific Mendelian law.

Answer:

C. law of segregation
