Solution

The correct answer is: the assortment of alleles for one gene does not influence how the alleles for a second gene assort during gamete formation.

This is what Mendel's law of independent assortment states. It means that the way one gene gets passed on from parents to offspring does not affect how another gene gets passed on. In other words, the segregation of alleles for one gene does not influence the segregation of alleles for any other gene.
