## Step 1<br />The first statement is "If the alleles for a trait did not segregate during gamete formation, offspring would always show the trait of at least one of the parents." This statement is false. The correct statement should be "If the alleles for a trait did segregate during gamete formation, offspring would show the trait of at least one of the parents."<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The second statement is "If an organism is heterozygous for a particular gene, the two different alleles will be separated during anaphase II of meiosis, assuming that no crossing-over has occurred." This statement is true. During meiosis, the two different alleles of a gene will be separated during anaphase II.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The third statement is "Mitosis results in two cells, whereas meiosis results in one cell." This statement is false. The correct statement should be "Mitosis results in two cells, whereas meiosis results in four cells."<br /><br />## Step 4<br />The short answer question asks "What are alleles?" Alleles are different forms of the same gene that are found at the same place on a chromosome. They can be dominant or recessive, and they determine the traits that an organism will have.
