According to mendel's law of segregation, meiosis involves the separation of a parent organism's alleles in order to form gametes. since the alleles separate into different gametes, only one allele passes from each parent on to an offspring. this segregation of alleles during meiosis

a) increases the chance that an offspring will receive a dominant allele.

b) decreases the chance that an offspring will receive a dominant allele.

c) increases the genetic variability of the offspring.

d) decreases the genetic variability of the offspring.
