Ans :B Mendel's second law of inheritance states that alleles for diff traits segregate independently of each other during gamete formation , and each gamete receives a random assortment of alleles for diff traits

1. **Law of Segregation:** This law states that during the formation of gametes (man-fluid and egg cells), the two alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. In other words, the alleles separate during gamete formation, and each gamete receives only one allele from each gene pair.

2. **Law of Independent Assortment:** This law states that the alleles of different genes assort independently of each other during gamete formation, meaning that the inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene. In other words, the alleles of different genes are randomly distributed into gametes during meiosis, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.

The selected answer here is wrong because its mendels first law which is know as law of segregation while his second law states that, each member of a pair of allelic genes may combine randomly with either of another pairs while the first law is the characteristics of an organism are controlled by genes which occur in pairs. of such a pair of genes only one can be carried in a single gamete
So the answer is B
