Solution
The correct option is C Independent assortment
- According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, during the inheritance of two or more characters, the assortment of individual traits takes place independently during gamete formation.
- Thus, each allele of a pair segregates independently and each gamete formed contains one allele of that trait.
- When F1 generation was selfed, a recessive character reappeared in F2 generation.
- This shows that the recessive gene was present and separated out independently during the production of gametes and the progenies exhibited a recombination of parental traits.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
