Answer:
Segregation of alleles means that two alleles representing the same gene separate when gametes are formed during meiosis.
Explanation:
- Mendel's law of segregation states that when a pair of allelr are brought together in hetero-zygote, these alleles do not blend or mix up but simply get associated with each other and remain together. These alleles separate during the formation of Gamete by meiosis.
- On separation these alleles are randomly united in pairs at the time of fertilization and transferred to offspring.
- In pure Homozygous form, both factors being alike, only one type of gametes are formed.
- In heterozygous form , both factors being a bit different, two types of gametes are formed.
