Question

Mendel's law of segregation is also known as _____________.

• A. Law of separation
• B. Law of dominance
• C. Law of purity of gametes
• D. Law of independent assortment.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Law of purity of gametes

According to Mendel’s monohybrid cross, during gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. It is called Law of Segregation. It is also called Law of purity of gametes as each gamete is pure or true for the trait it is carrying. It is universally applicable law.

So, the correct option is ‘Law of purity of gametes’.
