Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 9:3:3:1 ratio observed in the F2 generation indicates that two genes are segregating independently, which is explained by Mendel's law of independent assortment. Additionally, the 3:1 ratio observed in the F1 generation indicates that each parent contributed one allele for each gene, which is explained by Mendel's law of segregation. Therefore, the best choice is D, both of Mendel's laws of genetic inheritance.
