LAW OF SEGREGATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This law describes how each member of a homologous pair is pulled randomly to one side or another in anaphase I
A
Law of Segregation
B
Law of Independent Assortment
C
Law of Gravity
D
Law of Mathematical Order
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1: The Law of Segregation states that alleles segregate randomly into gametes: When gametes are formed, each allele of one parent segregates randomly into the gametes, such that half of the parent’s gametes carry each allele.

Detailed explanation-2: -Law of dominance: A dominant gene will express itself over the recessive gene. 2. Law of segregation: Parental genes are randomly separated to the germ cells such that each germ cell receives only one gene from each pair. 3.

Detailed explanation-3: -During meiosis, alleles segregate, or separate, such that each gamete is equally likely to receive either one of the two alleles present in the diploid individual. Mendel called this phenomenon the law of segregation, which can be demonstrated in a monohybrid cross.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mendel’s Segregation law occurs in anaphase (I and II) of meiosis. It is a phase in the first meiotic division in which the homologous chromosomes are segregated into two daughter nuclei with their various versions of each gene.
