Gregor Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment Argues That

Gregor Mendel's law of independent assortment argues that:

A) pairs of genes separate during reproduction and are passed on to the next generations without being altered (they remain distinct) .
B) different genetic traits are inherited as separate qualities (they are not dependent on each other) .
C) inheritance is particulate and not blended (they come in pairs and are passed intact) .
D) heredity occurs only during meiosis (mitosis is not associated with heredity) .
E) genes are exchanged between parents at the moment of conception.
