Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to the Law of Segregation, alleles are separated during the process of ____
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Osmosis
D
Translation
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: -The physical basis of Mendel’s law of segregation is the first division of meiosis in which the homologous chromosomes with their different versions of each gene are segregated into daughter nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -During anaphase of meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes separate from each gene are segregated into daughter nuclei. The homologous chromosomes behave during anaphase I account for the separation of the alleles to form gametes.
