The Principle of Independent Assortment illustrates how different genes individually separate from one another when reproductive cells receive. Independent assortment of genes and their similar traits was first mentioned by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants. Declaring that when two or more characters are acquired, individual hereditary factors classify independently during gamete production, giving distinct traits an equal opportunity of befalling together.
The law of segregation is the Mendel’s laws or principles
explain that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead
of as pairs, groups or sets. So the correct option is option “C” as far as the
given question is concerned. This is a law or principle which states that
during the formation of gametes, two copies of each heredity factors separate
out so that the new offspring can get one factor of both the parents. This law
was the first law in this direction.
Binary Fission is the process of cell division in prokaryotes (bacteria). It is a type of asexual reproduction. If the parent cell has 18 chromosomes than each daughter cell will also has 18 chromosomes.
