Question

Explain how the laws of segregation and law of independent assortment are different?

Answer 1

Mendels law of segregation states that when a pair of allelomorphs are brought together in the hybrid $\left(F_1\right)$ they remain together in the hybrid without blending but separate complete and pure during gamete formation. Whereas law of independent assortment states that when two pairs of independent alleles are brought together in the hybrid $F_1$, they show independent dominant effects. In the formation of gametes the law of segregation operates, but the factors assort themselves independently at random and freely.
