Explanation / Answer

1. D. Law of segregation tells that gametes segregate during meiosis

2. E gametes are placed on top in punnet square ; zygotes are placed inside the boxes

3. C. Fertilization produces the zygote which has diploid cells and Meiosis produces haploid cells

4.(B) Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that genes do not influence each other with regard to the sorting of alleles into gametes, and every possible combination of alleles for every gene is equally likely to occur.

5.(D) After meiosis, the daughter cells are Haploid and 4 cells are produced
