Question

Mendel's principle of segregation means that the germ cells always receive (1)One pair of alleles (2)One quarter of the genes (3) One of the paired alleles (4)Any pair of alleles

Answer 1

Hi dude....

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS (3) ONE OF THE PAIRED ALLELES.

HOPE THIS HELPS.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (3) One of the paired alleles

Explanation:

Mendel's principle of segregation explains how pairs of genes separated into germ cells (reproductive cells.)

The characteristics of an organism are determined by the alternate forms i.e. alleles or genes (internal factors) which occur in pair.

• And these factors or alleles of a pair separate or segregate randomly during gamete formation.

• Hence only one of a pair of such alleles isolates individually and is present in a single gamete with equal probability.

• Furthermore, the paired condition of factors gets restored by the random fusion of gametes during fertilization.

• This law ensures purity of gametes.

• Option (2) and option (4) are incorrect because they are irrelevant and impossible.

• Option (1) is incorrect since gametes are completely segregated with half the number of chromosomes i.e. with one of the pair of alleles.

Therefore the correct and most appropriate answer is Mendel's principle of segregation means that the germ cells always receive one of the paired alleles.
