The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Statement**: The statement "Gametes are never hybrid" indicates that gametes carry only one allele for each trait, which means they are pure and not a mix of alleles. 2. **Identifying the Relevant Law**: To determine which law this statement refers to, we need to consider Mendel's laws of inheritance. The relevant laws are: - Law of Dominance - Law of Segregation - Law of Independent Assortment - Random Fertilization 3. **Evaluating Each Law**: - **Law of Dominance**: This law states that in a heterozygote, one trait (dominant) will mask the other (recessive). This does not relate to the hybrid nature of gametes. - **Law of Segregation**: This law states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for a trait segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele. This directly supports the statement that gametes are never hybrid. - **Law of Independent Assortment**: This law applies to the inheritance of two or more traits and states that the alleles of different genes assort independently of one another. It does not pertain to the hybrid nature of gametes. - **Random Fertilization**: This concept refers to the random combination of gametes during fertilization and is not a law of inheritance. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the evaluation, the correct answer is that the statement "Gametes are never hybrid" is a statement of the **Law of Segregation**. **Final Answer**: The statement "Gametes are never hybrid" is a statement of the **Law of Segregation**. ---
