Hi everyone!

So I'm a little confused about this. I thought that in the law of segregation, a pair of alleles separate, but in independent assortment, genes assort independently. In Destroyer, it says genes separate from each other.

Is it saying the same thing then? Confused...

Please help me out. Thanks!

Alleles are just the specific versions of a gene. They're both saying the same thing.

Yes. Of course. Genes are composed of alleles.
