Question

Which Mendelian law of inheritance states that organisms inherit two

copies of each gene and donate one copy to each of their offspring?
law of genetic linkage
law of segregation
law of independent assortment
law of inheritance

Answer 1

Law of segregation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's three laws of inheritance are:

• law of dominance
• law of independent assortment
• law of segregation

The law of segregation states that diploid organisms possess two alleles for each trait, and that only one of these alleles is passed on to their offspring. It is totally random which allele is passed on to the next generation.
