Question

Mendel’s law of segregation states that :-

• A. the two factors for the same trait separate in the product
• B. the two different traits will be inherited independently of each other
• C. the gametes are produced by meiosis
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A the two factors for the same trait separate in the product

Law of segregation states that the two factors for a trait, present together in a heterozygous individual (for example Tt), do not get mixed and are separated during gametogenesis. Thus, each gamete receives one allele for a trait and two types of gametes are formed; 50% gametes carry factor for dominance (T) and 50% carry the recessive factor (t).
So, the correct answer is 'the two factors for the same trait separate in the product'.
