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."
This law states that the alleles for different traits assort independently of one another during the formation of gametes, so each allele has an equal opportunity to be inherited.
