Which of the following statement is true about Mendel's law of segregation?

  • A) Genes are separated on different chromoscomes.
  • B) pairs of alleles separate during mitosis.
  • C) Pairs of alleses separate during meiosis.
  • D) Pairs of alleses exchange material during crossing over.
  • E) Genes are passed from parents to offspring


Correct option is : C Pairs of alleles separate during meiosis.


Explanation:

Law of segregation states that the two factors for a trait, present together in a heterozygous individual (for example Tt), do not get mixed and are separated during gametogenesis. Thus, each gamete receives one allele for a trait and two types of gametes are formed; 50% gametes carry factor for dominance (T) and 50% carry the recessive factor (t). Thus, the correct answer is option C.
