What is the Law of segregation of alleles?

Answer 1

the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that during the production of gametes the two copies (alleles) of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent.

Answer 2

Mendel's Principle of Segregation states that an individual inherits a unit of information (allele) about a trait from each parent. During gamete formation, the alleles segregate from each other.

Answer 3

The Law of segregation is one law part of four laws designed by Gregor Mendel.

The Law of Segregation states that the pair of "factors" ( they are called factors because at this time genes had not been discovered) separate or segregate during the formation of sex cells.

The other three laws are:

1. Inherited characteristics are controlled by these "factors"

2. One factor will mask the effect of another ( known as the principal of dominance)

3. These "factors" ,when formed into a pair, segregate and are distributed independently of the way other factor pairs are distributed ( Known as the Law of Independent assortment).

Answer 4

1. law of segregation---the 2 alleles controlling each character maintain their identity in each organism but during formation of gamets move apart by meiosis so that each gamet recives only one alleleof each character

Answer 5

Mendel's law of segregation states that the two alleles for a heritable character segregate (separate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.

Answer 6

The Law of Segregation of Alleles according to Mendel is that, allele pairs separate (or segregate)during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.
