Question

difference between law of segregation and law of independent assortment

Answer 1

Law of Segregation :

Each allele retains its distinct identity, even though they remain together in an individual,they segregate only during gamete formation.

Example :
In a hybrid tall plant Tt ',T'and 't' segregate only during gamete formation.

Law of Independent Assortment :

During gamete formation, segregation of alleles of one pair is independent of the segregation of alleles of the other pair.

Example :Self pollination of hybrid plants with round and yellow seeds in F1 generation.
Here each pair is independent with the other pair.
