Question

According to Mendel's _______________, one copy of a gene is passed randomly from each parent to their offspring. This is why gametes have half the usual number of chromosomes. The ______________ states that different genes are not connected. In other words, the gene for eye color is not influenced by, nor does it influence, the gene for hair color. This allows gametes to form with a random mixture of traits. The cell division that creates gametes according to these principles is known as __________.

A) Law of Segregation; Law of Independent Assortment; meiosis

B) Law of Segregation; Law of Independent Assortment; mitosis

C) Law of Independent Assortment; Law of Segregation; mitosis

D) Law of Independent Assortment; Law of Segregation; meiosis

Answer 1

iTS ACTUALLY A.

Step-by-step explanation:

I DID IT ON USA TEST PREP AND GOT IT RIGHT HOPE IT HELPS ::)

Answer 2

D) Law of Independent Assortment; Law of Segregation; meiosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of Segregation goes in the second blank because it's talking about separation/segregation of chromosomes for different traits, and it's meiosis because mitosis is for exact copies of somatic cells.
