Question

Which statement describes Mendel’s hypotheses regarding gametes?
A gamete carries two genes for a trait.
A gamete carries one allele for a gene.
A gamete can carry multiple alleles for a trait.
Some gametes are dominant and some are recessive.

Answer 1

A gamete carries one allele for a gene.

Mendel's law of segregation states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation so each gamete receives only one allele of each gene.
