Which of the following is TRUE regarding the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment? Group of answer choices The law of independent assortment results in alleles at different loci (located on different chromosomes) assorting into gametes independently of each other. The law of independent assortment states that maternal and paternal alleles assort into separate gametes during meiosis. The law of segregation states that alleles coding for different traits separate randomly into gametes, regardless of the activity of alleles at other loci. The law of segregation applies to how tetrads line up on the metaphase plate during meiosis I.
