Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer will be- Meiosis I, anaphase I

Explanation:

Alleles are the variant alternative forms of a gene which determines the trait of an organism. The trait or phenotype is expressed only when the two alleles controlling a single trait on separate chromosomes are aligned in a complementary position.

During gamete formation, the alleles controlling a trait segregate independently of each other. This segregation of alleles takes place during Anaphase I of meiosis I. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are separated by the mitotic spindles so that the chromosomes can reach the opposite poles.

Thus, Meiosis I, anaphase I am the correct answer.
