The principle of segregation is the most fundamental principle of heredity that has universal application with no exception. Some workers like Bateson call the principle of segregation as the principle of purity of gametes because segregation of the two Mendelian factors of a trait results in gametes receiving only one factor out of a pair. As a result gametes are always pure for a character. It is also known as law of non-mixing of alleles and can be demonstrated through a monohybrid cross.
