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 segregation law is Mendel’s first law. It states that during meiosis alleles segregate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The law of segregation describes how homologous chromosomes (and hence allele pairs) are separated in meiosis I.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
