Solution
The correct option is A Law of purity of gametes Mendel
conducted monohybrid cross on pea plant and analyzed the result in the F1 and
F2 generations. In the F1 generation all progeny shows, only phenotype i.e. dominant parent is appears. In the F2
generation, progeny shows phenotypes of both parents. He postulated that, it is
due to the separation of factors in a pair. It is postulated as Law of
segregation or Law of purity of gametes. He stated that, each factor in a pair separate
during gamete formation, at the time of meiosis. so that each gamete receives
only one factor for each character. It is called Law of Segregation or purity
of gametes.
So, the correct option is 'Law of purity of gametes'.
