Question

each kernel of corn on a single ear can inherit a different set of alleles from those inherited by other kernels. this characteristic makes corn a useful example of which law or principle?
principle of dominance
law of independent assortment
law of segregation
law of genetics

Explanation:

The law of independent assortment states that different pairs of alleles segregate independently of each other during gamete formation. In corn kernels, the inheritance of one trait's alleles is not influenced by the inheritance of alleles for other traits, which is an example of this law. The law of segregation refers to the separation of alleles during gamete - formation for a single gene. The principle of dominance is about one allele masking the expression of another. The law of genetics is a broad term.

Answer:

law of independent assortment
