Question

Explain Mendel's law of segregation.

Answer 1

Mendel has proposed three laws of inheritance by experimentation on the pea plants. There are two alleles for every gene and are known as the factors. The law of segregation states that one factor segregates from the other factor during the formation of the gamete.

Mendel's first law is also known as the law of segregation. The law of segregation states that 'the alleles of a given locus segregate into separate gametes.' Alleles sort independently because the gene is located on a specific chromosome.
