Question

the law of independent assortment states that...
a) one gene affects the expression of another gene during gamete formation
b) genes are combined to form new genes during gamete formation
c) one gene affects the segregation of another gene during gamete formation
d) genes segregate independently during gamete formation

Explanation:

The Law of Independent Assortment states that non - linked genes separate independently during the formation of gametes. This means that the inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene. Options a, b, and c do not accurately describe this law. Option a describes gene interaction, option b is incorrect as genes do not combine to form new genes in this way during gamete formation, and option c is the opposite of what the law states.

Answer:

d) Genes segregate independently during gamete formation
