- BCells have two factors for each trait and these factors separate at gamete formation
- CCells have one factor for each trait and this factor separates from all others at gamete formation
- DCells have one factor for each trait and this factor joins with other factors at gamete formation
29The Law of Independent Assortment states that:
- AEither member of a pair of factors can fuse with either member of another pair at gamete formation
- BEither member of a pair of factors can combine with either member of another pair at gamete formation
- CEither member of a pair of factors cannot separate from either member of another pair at gamete formation
- DEither member of a pair of factors will separate from each other at gamete formation
