Detailed explanation-1: -Law of segregation is the second law of inheritance. This law explains that the pair of alleles segregate from each other during meiosis cell division (gamete formation) so that only one allele will be present in each gamete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genes come in different versions, or alleles. A dominant allele hides a recessive allele and determines the organism’s appearance. When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one gene copy, which is selected randomly. This is known as the law of segregation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The law of segregation states that the two alleles of a single trait will separate randomly, meaning that there is a 50% either allele will end up in either gamete. This has to do with 1 gene. The law of independent assortment states that the allele of one gene separates independently of an allele of another gene.
