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: -In meiosis, the mother’s and the father’s genes are separated, and so the character alleles are separated into two distinct gametes.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Meiosis I homologous chromosomes segregate, while in Meiosis II sister chromatids segregate. Most multicellular organisms use meiosis to produce gametes, the cells that fuse to make offspring.
Detailed explanation-4: -We now know that the segregation of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes, which is a process that produces reproductive cells called gametes.
