Q. Mendel’s principle of segregation is based on separation of alleles during

Principles of Inheritance and Variation

Solution:

• 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.
