Question

the diagram represents one of mendels laws or principles of inheritance.

f1: gg (green) × gg (green)
↓
f2: gg (green), gg (green), gg (green), gg (yellow)

which law or principle shown in the diagram is represented by the f2 generation having one gene from each parent?
○ dominance
○ independent assortment
○ segregation
○ genetics

Explanation:

• Dominance refers to a dominant allele masking a recessive one, but this does not explain the inheritance of one gene from each parent.
• Independent assortment applies to the random sorting of different gene pairs, not the passing of one allele from each parent for a single gene.
• The Law of Segregation states that during gamete formation, the two alleles of a gene separate, so each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. This results in offspring (F2 generation) inheriting one allele from each parent, which matches the diagram's pattern.
• Genetics is the broad study of inheritance, not a specific Mendelian law.

Answer:

segregation
