The law of segregation, one of Gregor Mendel's fundamental principles of inheritance, states that only one allele from each parent is passed to the offspring. This means that during the formation of gametes (eggs and sperm), the two alleles for a trait separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each trait.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
**Only one allele from each parent is passed to the offspring.**
Therefore, the correct statement is:
**Only one allele from each parent is passed to the offspring.**
