Question

Mendel's law of segregation applies to:

-Both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, but not higher order crosses (i.e. trihybrid, tetrahybrid).
-Dihybrid crosses only
-Both monohybrid and dihybrid crosses
-Monohybrid crosses only

Answer 1

Gregor Mendel’s law of segregation states that the two alleles for each trait segregate, or separate, during the formation of gametes, and that during the formation of new zygotes, the alleles will combine at random with other alleles. The law of segregation ensures that a parent, with two copies of each gene, can pass on either allele. Both alleles will have the same change of ending up in a zygote.

Mendel’s law of segregation applies to both monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross.
