Solution
The correct option is B Meiosis
Meiosis is otherwise called as Reductional division where the ploidy level of the organism is halved. Meiosis occurs in sex cells where Law of Independent assortment is well applicable. Because during meiosis, the hereditary units are inherited independently and segregated in chromosomes. One allele of a trait segregates and moves to the chromosomes such that the offspring can acquire characters from any one parent. Thus the law of Segregation also is proved well by the process of Meiosis. The expression of phenotype very well depends on Mendel's law of dominance. The dominant character is expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous forms. Whereas recessive characters are expressed only in homozygous forms.
