Answer: The correct answer is c) increases the genetic variability of the offspring.
According to Mendel's law of segregation, during the process of gamete formation, alleles ( alternative forms of gene) are separated into different gametes ( reproductive cells of the organism). In other words, every gamete consists of one allele. It is also called law of purity of gametes.
Due to this segregation, only single allele is passed from each parent to their offsprings. Thus, in different offsprings, the chances of genetic variability is increased as there is a likelihood that different offsprings will receive different alleles.
Thus, C) is the right answer.
