Question

match each description to mendels laws. two alleles of a gene are separated during meiosis 1. offspring inherit one allele from each parent. mendel tested by tracking inheritance of two traits. alleles of one gene divide into gametes randomly and apart from other genes. law of segregation law of independent assortment

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that two alleles of a gene separate during meiosis I and offspring inherit one allele from each parent. The law of independent assortment is tested by tracking the inheritance of two traits and means that alleles of one gene divide into gametes randomly and independently of other genes.

Answer:

• Two alleles of a gene are separated during meiosis 1: law of segregation
• Offspring inherit one allele from each parent: law of segregation
• Mendel tested by tracking inheritance of two traits: law of independent assortment
• Alleles of one gene divide into gametes randomly and apart from other genes: law of independent assortment
