Question

Which principle helps to explain the reason behind why the two alleles for a single trait separate from each other when gametes are made, allowing to ensure that each gamete only carries one allele?

A. Gene Linkage
B. Segregation
C. Incomplete dominance
D. Dominance

Answer 1

B. Segregation
as chromosomes seperate into different gametes during meiosis , the two different alleles for a particular trait also segregate so that each gamete aquires one of the two alleles

Answer 2

The correct answer is option B - Segregation.

Segregation is the separation of alleles during gamete formation. Once the gametes or the sex cells are formed, the independent alleles that are relevant to a specific trait segregate so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
