During anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and are segregated to different cells.
This also segregates the homologous forms of a gene, or alleles, that are located on these chromosomes.
Segregation distortion, non-mendelian segregation.
Segregation
According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.
The separation of alleles is called segregation. During meiosis, alleles located on homologous chromosomes are randomly sorted into daughter cells, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
Meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity. Mendel's law of segregation states that allele pairs separate during gamete formation, so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. This segregation occurs during meiosis I, when homologous chromosomes are separated, leading to the distribution of different alleles into different gametes. Thus, meiosis provides the biological mechanism that underlies Mendel's observations on inheritance.
The principles of segregation and independent assortment are at work during the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
Segregation of alleles occurs during meiosis, specifically during the separation of homologous chromosomes in anaphase I. This process ensures that each gamete receives only one copy of each gene, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.

crossing over of chromosomes, indepependent segregation of chromosomes and mutations
The separation of alleles is called segregation. During meiosis, alleles located on homologous chromosomes are randomly sorted into daughter cells, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
During meiosis, segregation occurs when homologous pairs of chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles during the first division of meiosis. This process ensures that each resulting gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
Segregation is the separating of genes into different cells during meiosis. We have found that there are many more genes that display segregation than there are chromosomes. The explaination is crossing-over - where during prophase I chromosome arms of homologous chromosomes break off and attach to each other. This allows genes on the same chromosome to segregate.
