Here's what it states:

* Each individual possesses two alleles for each trait. These alleles are inherited, one from each parent.

* During gamete formation (meiosis), these alleles separate, so each gamete receives only one allele for each trait. This means that the offspring inherits one allele from each parent.

This law explains why offspring inherit a mixture of traits from both parents, even though parents may have different traits.
