Which statement is true according to Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment?(1 point) Responses If a parent carries two recessive alleles, then neither one of them gets passed on. If a parent carries two recessive alleles, then neither one of them gets passed on. Either of the two alleles carried by the parent has an equal chance to be passed on. Either of the two alleles carried by the parent has an equal chance to be passed on. One parent always passes a dominant allele; the other always passes a recessive allele. One parent always passes a dominant allele; the other always passes a recessive allele. Both parents pass on a dominant allele whenever they have one.

The correct statement according to Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment is: "Either of the two alleles carried by the parent has an equal chance to be passed on."

Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles for different traits are passed on independently of one another, which means that each allele has an equal likelihood of being inherited regardless of the other alleles present.
