Answer 1

Mendel's law or principle that explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of pairs, groups, and/or sets B-The law of independent assortment. Mendel's Law of heredity includes the Law of segregation and the Law of independent assortment. The Law of segregation explains that alleles separate (segregate) during gamete formation and that offspring inherit only one allele from each parent. The Law of independent assortment explains that traits are passed individually and that they are independent of the inheritance of other traits.
