Question

the diagram represents one of mendel’s 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, not about gene inheritance from parents.
• Independent Assortment: Deals with different genes assorting independently, not single - gene inheritance from parents.
• Segregation: Mendel's law of segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene segregate and each gamete gets one allele. So, offspring (F2) receive one gene from each parent (F1), which matches the diagram.
• Genetics: It is a broad field, not a specific Mendelian law.

Answer:

C. segregation
