The correct answer for this question is A. Law of segregation.

All individuals have two alleles for a  given trait. According to Mendel's Law of segregation, these alleles are passed down one each from both mother and father.  

Explanations;
According to this law of segregation the allele pairs separate or segregate during the formation of gamete, during the process of meiosis, leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait, and randomly unite during fertilization. One pair of allele comes from the mother while the other pair comes from the father, and joins together to form a diploid cell. Therefore, organisms inherit two alleles for each trait one from each parent.

When encountering another vessel in darkness or reduced visibility, what is indicated by the presence of only a visible white li
katrin2010 [14]
The vessels use three main colors (white, green and red) where each color alone, combination of two colors as well as the three colors together each has a certain meaning. This meaning is sort of an international code that is agreed all over the globe.

So, based on this code, the presence of only visible white light means that your vessel might be overtaking another vessel. In this case, you should give way to either sides. The other vessel should standby until an action is taken from your end.

Mutatio is a random process as it can not be determind or known befor bthechange in sequence what gene or DNA would be effected by it or what genes would be transfer from the parents.

Natural selection is a process where some of the traits that are helpful in the surviving and increasing the number of individuals in a population and transfer from one generation to other according the adaption and change over the long timeline. Thus, it is not random and based on the traits that are helpful in a environment or for the survival of
