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: -The law of segregation states that every individual possesses two alleles and only one allele is passed on to the offspring. The law of independent assortment states that the inheritance of one pair of genes is independent of inheritance of another pair.
