Question

which of mendels laws or principles explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups, or sets?
○ the principle of dominance
○ the law of dependent assortment
○ the law of segregation
○ the principle of genetics

Explanation:

• The principle of dominance states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
• The law of independent assortment states that genes for different traits assort independently during gamete formation.
• The law of segregation states that alleles separate during gamete formation, so traits are passed individually (as each gamete gets one allele for each gene).
• There is no "principle of genetics" as a specific Mendelian law in this context.

Answer:

the law of segregation
