Question

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.

Answer 1

The true 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."

This law states that the alleles for different traits segregate independently of one another during the formation of gametes, meaning that each allele has an equal likelihood of being passed on to the offspring.
