Mendel's first law, also known as the law of segregation, states that alternate forms of a gene (alleles) segregate from each other during the formation of gametes, such that each gamete receives one allele from each parent with equal probability. This law does not address the idea that genes cannot be separated into gametes, so the correct answer is D.
