Question

which of the following describes mendels law of independent assortment?
the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
the closer the genes are located on a chromosome, the more likely they will be inherited together.
only one of the two gene copies present in a living organism is distributed to each gamete.
traits can be influenced by many different combinations of genes or multiple alleles.

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that non - linked genes assort independently during gamete formation, meaning the inheritance of one gene is not affected by the inheritance of another.

Answer:

The allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
