Question

Based upon the patterns of inheritance he observed, Gregor Mendel proposed his "principle of segregation": The genetic contributions of both parents are preserved intact and are separated from each other and placed into different gametes during the process of gamete formation. Please explain how biologists believe this "segregation" is accomplished during meiotic cell division.

Answer 1

Please look in the image for solution:

Principle of sequegation states that the homologous chromosomes are separated during anaphase I of Meiosis I. That's why the chromosomes vue separated towards each pole due to shortening of microtubules. 1. That's why the alleles are Separated to the gametes because of each chromosome has different alleles. r het aparent has "Aland a two alleles. Meiasis I Meiosis I
