  4. Dall alleles of a gene

Correct answer

B. one allele of a gene

Step-by-step solution

According to Mendel's Law of Segregation, the two alleles of a gene present in a diploid organism separate or segregate from each other during meiosis (gamete formation). As a result, each gamete receives only one allele of a gene. Therefore, a gamete generally contains one allele of a gene. Answer: one allele of a gene
