Question

The process by which each gamete receives one allele of a gene is known as:

a. mendel’s second law of inheritance
b. dominant inheritance
c. recessive inheritance
d. mendel’s first law of inheritance

Answer 1

D. Mendel's first law of inheritance, also known as the law of segregation, states that during the formation of gametes, the two alleles (one from each parent) segregate from each other, so that each gamete only receives one allele for each gene.
