This principle states that alleles separate during gamete formation:


principle of segregation

principle of independent assortment

principle of multiple alleles

principle of dominance and recessiveness

  1. In each case where Mendel crossed true breeding plants as parents, the offspring displayed only one of the two traits seen in the parents. This observation supports which principle of genetics?

independent assortment

segregation

allele frequency

dominance and recessiveness

  1. A plant that has purple flowers is crossed with one that has white flowers. The offspring were half white and half purple. What were the genotypes of the parents?
