Question

PLEASE ANSWER! VERY URGENT

Which statement represents Mendel's law of segregation?


A) Alleles of a trait can never be separated from each other

B) Two alleles for a trait separate during meiosis

C) Alleles of the same trait can only separate during mitosis

D) Two alleles that were segregated can come together during meiosis

Answer 1

Mendel's law of segregation states that allele pairs separate or get segregated during gamete formation but randomly gets united during fertilization.Fertilization brings paternal and maternal chromosomes together. Meiosis happens during fertilization.

So, A is false because traits gets separated. C is false because alleles separate during gamete formation. D is false because alleles gets segregated during meiosis.

B is true.
