. Describe Mendel's law of segregation with example.
Answers
Answer:
The principles that govern heredity were discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1860s. One of these principles, now called Mendel's Law of Segregation, states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation and randomly unite at fertilization.
Answer:
The law of segregation states that during the production of gametes, two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent.
In other words, allele (alternative form of the gene) pairs segregate during the formation of gamete and re-unite randomly during fertilization
example of the law of segregation can be observed in the case of albinism in human beings
Albinism is the lack of pigment production in humans due to the presence of an abnormal recessive trait. The dominant allele for albinism is represented by A, and the recessive allele is represented by a..
In plants, for example, the color trait of the flower will depend on the type of allele inherited by the offspring
