a and b

| A) in an organism, each locus has two alleles | ||
| B) | only one allele per locus is present in each gamete | |
| C) | only one trait can be inherited per locus | |
| D) | a and b | |
| E) | b and c |
Solution
Correct answer is:
B) only one allele per locus is present in each gamete
Reason:The above statement is clearly in favour of the law of segregration which states that the two alleles of a single trait always undergo separation in a random manner which means 50% of either allele of a gene will end up in either gamete.
