According to Mendel’s law of segregation, which of the following statements describes what happens to the alleles of a gene pair?
A
The alleles are moved to different chromosomes.
B
The alleles are moved to different chromosomes.
C
The alleles are separated during fertilization.
D
The alleles are separated during gamete formation.
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: -According to the law of segregation, only one of the two gene copies present in an organism is distributed to each gamete (egg or sperm cell) that it makes, and the allocation of the gene copies is random.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gregor Mendel’s law of segregation states that the two alleles for each trait segregate, or separate, during the formation of gametes, and that during the formation of new zygotes, the alleles will combine at random with other alleles.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gregor Mendel‘s law of segregation states that the two alleles separate or separate for each trait during gamete formation, and that alleles randomly combine with other alleles during the formation of new zygotes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The segregation law is Mendel’s first law. It states that during meiosis alleles segregate. The fundamental principles of this law are posited as follows: There can be more than one type of allele for a gene.
