Alleles of a single gene separate during gamete formation and then unite at random-one from each parent-at fertilization. Two individuals that both have the genotype Bb can produce offspring with genotypes BB, Bb, and bb. Pairs of alleles of different genes segregate into gametes independently of one another. In a cross between Aa Gg dihybrids, aa 99 progeny will occur at a frequency of 1/16. In the Bb offspring from a monohybrid cross, half the offspring inherited the B allele from the male parent and half from the female parent. Law of Segregation An individual having two genes with two alleles each, Bb and Ee, can give rise to four gamete types: B E, B e, b E, and b An individual with the genotype Bb will produce two types of gametes: gametes with Band gametes with b.
