Solution
The correct option is C Segregation
Gene exists in more than one form and this is called as allele. Each trait has two forms of alleles present in an organism. Mendel's law of segregation states that segregation of alleles occur during gamete formation and these then randomly unite during fertilization. Heterozygous tall plant has genotype Tt. Both alleles T and t segregate during gamete formation and unite during fertilization producing both tall (TT and Tt) and dwarf (tt) plants.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
