Question

the diagram represents one of mendels laws or principles of inheritance.
f1 gg × gg
f2 gg gg gg gg
which law or principle shown in the diagram is represented by the f2 generation having one gene from each parent?
○ dominance
○ independent assortment
○ segregation
○ genetics

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Dominance: Refers to one allele masking another (e.g., G dominant over g), not about gene inheritance from parents. Eliminate.
• Independent Assortment: Deals with different gene pairs assorting independently during gamete formation, not shown here (this is a single - gene cross). Eliminate.
• Segregation: Mendel's law of segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene separate, and each gamete receives one allele. In the F2 generation, each individual (e.g., GG, Gg, gg) has one allele from each parent (from the F1 Gg parents), which matches the description.
• Genetics: Is a broad field, not a specific Mendelian law/principle. Eliminate.

Answer:

C. segregation
