Gregor Mendel proposed laws to determine how alleles from sex cells created during meiosis could be combined. Which of these laws is BEST shown in the diagram, and why?
The diagram shows the law of segregation in which the offspring receive two alleles from both parents.
The diagram shows the law of segregation in which one allele is passed from each parent to the offspring.
The diagram shows the law of independent assortment in which the offspring receive two alleles from each parent.
The diagram shows the law of independent assortment in which one allele is passed from each parent to the offspring.
choose the correct answer
The correct answer is: The diagram shows the law of independent assortment in which one allele is passed from each parent to the offspring.
This is because the diagram shows two different alleles (represented by different colors) being passed down from the parents to the offspring in a random and independent manner, which is consistent with the law of independent assortment proposed by Mendel.
