Question

When eggs and sperm are made, the two alleles for each gene separate when the homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis. Each egg/sperm cell only gets one allele for each gene. Which of Gregor Mendel’s principles is this?

Answer 1

Answer:

1st law: Law of segregation

Explanation:

Mendel’s First Law: Law of Segregation During each round of meiosis, chromosomes are separated into daughter cells. This means that one half of the genetic material goes to one gamete and the other half goes to the other. Mendel’s first law essentially states that the alleles in one locus segregate into separate gametes.
