The law of segregation states that during the formation of gametes, the two alleles for a trait separate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. A common misconception is that traits are inherited together or that alleles do not segregate independently; however, the law specifically applies to the separation of alleles for a single gene. Additionally, it does not account for genes that are located close together on the same chromosome, which may be inherited together due to genetic linkage.
