Gregor Mendel s study of genetics helped to form an understanding of how biological traits are passed from generation to generation According to Mendel s law of segregation pairs of alleles for each gene locus are separated and distributed to different gametes during meiosis Further Mendel s law of independent assortment explains that during meiosis alleles for specific traits are separated independently of alleles for other traits Which statement best describes how heredity is affected by the application of these laws OA genetic variation decreases through meiosis OB only recessive alleles are passed on OC only dominant alleles are passed on OD genetic variation increases through meiosis
