LAW OF SEGREGATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Law of Segregation states that alleles separate during the process of ____
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Fertilization
D
Replication
Explanation: 

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: -The law of segregation states that the parental genes must separate randomly and equally into gametes during meiosis so there is an equal chance of the offspring inheriting either allele. No allele is favored or has an advantage over another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The law of segregation is the second law of heredity. This law explains that the pair of alleles separates from each other during the cell division of meiosis (formation of gametes), so there is only one allele in each gamete.

Detailed explanation-4: -Segregation is the separation of allele pairs (different traits of the same gene) during meiosis so that they can transfer specifically to separate gametes.
