- Each trait is passed independently of the other. — True. Mendel's law of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes segregate into gametes independently (unless the genes are linked).
- Alleles are combined before they are passed to offspring. — False. Alleles segregate into gametes during meiosis and are only combined when gametes fuse at fertilization.
