Question

Assertion: The principle of segregation given by Mendel is the principle of purity of
gametes.
Reason: Gametes are pure for a character.​

Answer 1

In the F1 plants, the two Mendelian factors segregate during the process of gamete formation. Due to the principle of segregation of the two Mendelian factors, one gamete receives only one factor out of a pair of traits. As a result of this, the gametes are always pure for any character.
