A)All dominant alleles of different genes divide into different cells from the recessive alleles.
B)Two copies of a gene separate during meiosis and end up in different gametes.

D)Gametes with recessive alleles will fuse only with each other.

Question

Mendel's law of segregation states that during the formation of gametes, the two copies of a gene separate or segregate from each other so that each gamete receives only one copy of the gene. This means that when the gametes fuse during fertilization, each offspring receives two copies of the gene- one from each parent. Choice B best expresses this fundamental law of genetics.
