Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. offspring inherit genes from their parents, and these genes determine their physical characteristics. according to the law of
, a heterozygous organism has about a
chance of producing gametes with the recessive allele.

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene separate from each other. A heterozygous organism (e.g., \(Aa\)) has one dominant (\(A\)) and one recessive (\(a\)) allele. When gametes are formed, there is a \(50\%\) chance (\(1/2\) probability) of producing a gamete with the recessive allele (\(a\)).

Answer:

First blank: segregation; Second blank: \(50\%\) (or \(\frac{1}{2}\))
