C. The traits of an offspring are independent from the parents

D. Alleles of a trait separate independently when gametes form

Answer 1

I think the right answer is Di.e. Alleles of a trait separate independently when gametes form

Answer 2

Option D. Alleles of a trait separate independently when gametes form, best describes the law of independent assortment.

• Mendel through his experiments on pea plants came up with three laws called Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.
• These are called the Law of Independent Assortment, the Law of Dominance, and the Law of Segregation.
• When traits separate from one another during gametogenesis, they are independently segregated.
• According to Mendel, the segregation of one trait does not influence the segregation of another trait.
• The law was later modified due to Morgan's work on linked genes.
