Question

According to Mendel's _______________, one copy of a gene is passed randomly from each parent to their offspring. This is why gametes have half the usual number of chromosomes. The ______________ states that different genes are not connected. In other words, the gene for eye color is not influenced by, nor does it influence, the gene for hair color. This allows gametes to form with a random mixture of traits. The cell division that creates gametes according to these principles is known as __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Law of inheritance

2. Law of Independent Assortment

3. Meiosis

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is known for his work on the pea plants to study the pattern of inheritance of traits in a population.

On the basis of his work, Laws of inheritance were proposed in which the main three laws were the Law of dominance, Laws of segregation and law of independent assortment.

The Law of inheritance suggested that factor (genes) responsible for a trait come in pairs and is inherited one from each parent to the offspring.

The law of  Independent Assortment stated that these genes segregate and passed on to the offspring independent of each other.

The cell division associated with the formation of a germ cell is known as meiosis which produced four daughter cells with different genetic material.
