Mendel lived in the 19th century and had no knowledge of the cell components . The 'elements' that he referred to can now be correlated to the genes which are composed of DNA. The DNA is organized in chromosomes. We now know that each cell contains multiple chromosomes each one of which is present in pairs. Thus there are two copies of the genes as stated in Mendel's Law. We now know that DNA replicates to make identical copies and that in mitosis the two daughter cells inherit the full DNA.
We now have also observed that cells can go through meiosis to form sex cells. During meiosis the diploid cell is divided into 4 haploid cells (gametes) where each gamete has only one copy of each chromosomes . This process was also predicated in Mendel's first law
The cellular process that results in the segregation of Mended's factors is meiosis. It is a type of cell division that produces gametes.
Mendel's law of segregation
"This process of separation and gamete formation is referred to as Mendel's first principle, the principle of segregation." Read the text.

Law of dominance law of segregation law of independent assortment
It's segregation! :P
alleles
the law of segregation
Mendel's principle of segregation states that a separation of allele pairs occur during the gamete formation. They randomly unite at fertilization.
this that every trait has 2 alleles
Mendel's law of segregation
Examples of Mendel's Laws include the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment.
Mendel used pea plants to formulate the laws of segregation and independent assortment.

Gregor Mendel did his work that led to the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment between 1856 and 1863.
Mendel discovered two laws of heredity. The law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.
Mendel discovered the patterns (laws) of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment.
