Solution

The correct option is A Pure

In every organism, during fertilization, every allele in its pair gets separated and enter into a gamete. So, each gamete has only one allele of the pair. Thus each gamete is pure for a trait. So, the second law of Mendel is called Law of purity of gametes.
So, the correct option is ‘Pure’.
