According to the principle of segregation, a heterozygous plant with alleles Aa will produce:
A)gametes with only the A allele.
B)gametes with only the a allele.
C)gametes in the ratio of 1 A allele:1 a allele.

The principle of segregation states that during gamete formation, the alleles for a gene separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. Therefore, a heterozygous plant (Aa) will produce gametes with the A allele and gametes with the a allele in a 1:1 ratio.
