Question

question 6 (multiple choice worth 2 points) (03.06 mc) the law of segregation is derived from mendels conclusions. which of the following describes the law of segregation? 1. the two genes of a given trait separate, or segregate, during gamete production 2. all the gametes produced by organisms with matching alleles for a given trait will have the same allele for that trait 3. egg and sperms will only receive one of the two genes for a given trait that are found in the organisms other cells o 1 and 2 o 1 and 3 o 1, 2 and 3 o 2 and 3

Explanation:

The law of segregation states that during gamete production, the two genes for a given trait separate. Gametes (egg and sperm) receive only one of the two genes for a given trait. Statements 1 and 2 correctly describe aspects of the law of segregation. Statement 1 describes the separation of genes during gamete production, and statement 2 mentions that organisms with matching alleles for a trait have the same allele in all gametes for that trait. Statement 3 is incorrect as it is not a correct description of the law of segregation.

Answer:

C. 1 and 2
