'The Law of _ when different separate independently from each other during the production of gametes Segregation; genes Segregation; alleles Independent assortment; alleles Independent assortment; genes'
Added by Alicia S.
Step 1
Gametes are sex cells (sperm and egg) that are produced through a process called meiosis. During meiosis, the chromosomes in a cell are duplicated, and then the cell divides twice, resulting in four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the Show more…

Every organism has two alleles for each gene. But during meiosis, these two alleles separate from each other into different gametes. What did Mendel establish this as? Law of Independent Assortment Law of Segregation Multiple Alleles Law of Separation

This law states that allele pairs separate during the formation of gametes. This means that traits are transmitted to offspring independently of one another. This law is the: Group of answer choices Law of Dominance or Recessiveness Law of Genetics Law of Independent Assortment Law of Segregation
Madhur L.
Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment states that pairs of alleles separate during meiosis. Different pairs of alleles assort independently of each other during meiosis, provided the alleles are on different pairs of homologous chromosomes. Pairs of alleles assort independently of each other during meiosis, provided the alleles are on the same pair of homologous chromosomes. Sister chromatids assort independently of each other during meiosis. Independent alleles that are linked on a chromosome will separate from each other during meiosis.
