Mendel's principle of segregation is based on separation of alleles during

Options

A. Gamete formation
B. Seed formation
C. Pollination
D. Embryonic development

Answer

A

Explanation

• This law is based on the fact that the alleles do not show any blending and that both the characters are recovered as such in the `F_(2)` generation though one of these is not seen at the `F_(1)` stage.
• Though the parents contain two alleles during gamete formation, the factors or alleles of a pair segregate from each other such that a gamete receives only one of the two factors.
