Question
which of the following is a result of the law of segregation?
traits never vary within a population.
dominant alleles always remain dormant.
different genotypes are passed to offspring.
The Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, alleles segregate (separate) so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. This leads to different combinations of alleles (genotypes) being passed to offspring. Traits do vary within a population (so the first option is wrong). Dominant alleles are expressed, not dormant (so the second option is wrong).
