Mendel's Law of Segregation states that:
AAlleles of different genes assort independently
BTwo alleles of a gene segregate (separate) during gamete formation such that each gamete carries only one allele
CGenes are linked on chromosomes
DDominant traits always mask recessive ones
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Two alleles of a gene segregate (separate) during gamete formation such that each gamete carries only one allele
**Law of Segregation (Mendel's 2nd Law)**: during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene **separate** and each gamete receives only one allele — providing physical basis for the 3:1 F₂ ratio in monohybrid crosses.
