Solution

The correct option is D
Alleles blend with each other during gamete formation.

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.

This also means that the chromosome pairs carrying the alleles for traits also separate during gamete formation or gametogenesis and more importantly, gametes do not blend during this process. Hence, this law is also called “ law of purity of gametes “
