B) Two copies of a gene separate during meiosis and end up in different gametes.

Mendel's law of segregation states that during meiosis, the two alleles of a gene segregate (separate from each other) into different gametes. This means that each gamete receives only one allele, resulting in offspring that inherit one allele from each parent.
