Question

what does the law of independent assortment state?
recessive traits never appear in offspring.
dominant traits are always inherited.
alleles for different traits are inherited together.
alleles for different traits are distributed randomly.

Explanation:

The Law of Independent Assortment is about how alleles for different traits are passed on. Recessive traits can appear in offspring (so the first option is wrong). Dominant traits aren't always inherited (second option wrong). The law says alleles for different traits assort independently, not that they are inherited together (third option wrong). The correct idea is that alleles for different traits are distributed randomly.

Answer:

Alleles for different traits are distributed randomly.
