Ruby Harper · Answer 2

The offspring will inherit one allele from each parent.

Explanation:

According to law of segregation, a pair of allele representing a trait separate during gamete formation and randomly unite during fertilization. The maternal gametes randomly unite with the paternal gametes.

Hence, offspring of a cross always end up inheriting one allele from each of the parents.
