✓ Correct answer: D. Different alleles for one geneMendel's First Law, also known as the Law of Segregation or monohybrid inheritance, states that the cross between two pea plants with differing alleles for a single trait (such as flower color) results in offspring with different alleles for that single gene. This law does not apply to crosses involving two traits (genes) or those with equivalent alleles.
