Question
Mendel's law of segregation indicates thatgametes are diploid.more gametes carrying the dominant allele are produced than gametes carrying the recessive allele.gametes have one allele copy for each gene.two alleles segregate into each gamete.
Solution
Mendel's law of segregation indicates that gametes have one allele copy for each gene. This law is based on the observation that alleles separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Each organism has two alleles for each trait. These alleles could be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).
-
When an organism produces gametes (eggs or sperm), these two alleles separate from each other in the process of meiosis, so each gamete carries only one allele for each trait.
-
When fertilization occurs, the resulting offspring receives one allele from each parent, restoring the two copies in the offspring.
So, the correct answer is: "gametes have one allele copy for each gene."
