Question
Purity of gametes is linked to ______.
Options
Law of dominance
Law of independent assortment
Law of segregation
Law of limiting factor
Solution
Purity of gametes is linked to law of segregation.
Explanation:
The Law of Segregation, which posits that alleles segregate independently during gamete formation, is associated with the purity of gametes.
