Question

can anyone explain me the law of segregation???

Answer 1

it is quiet an easy one
first of all it was given by gregor mendele
he says
" The two factors in each pair separate or segregate during gamete formation and each gamete will contain only one factor"
the factors which he was talking about is called allele in modern terminology
each gene can have different forms and these alternative forms of the same gene is called alleles . alleles occupy the same relative position ( gene locus) on the pair of homologous chromosomes.homologous chromosomes are in pairs with pair made up of are composed of one from mother and one from father. they have same sequence of gene loci.
now when the gamets are form chromosomes segregate so that they contain only one allele for a particular characteristics on a gene locus(relative position occupied on the chromosomes by allele).

Answer 2

this is called law of segregation

Answer 3

the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent.

Answer 4

Mendel worked with pea plants and selected seven traits to study that each occurred in two different forms. For instance, one trait he studied was pod color. Some pea plants have green pods and others have yellow pods. Since pea plants are capable of self fertilization, Mendel was able to produce true-breeding plants. A true-breeding yellow-pod plant for example would only produce yellow-pod offspring. Mendel then began to experiment to find out what would happen if he cross-pollinated a true-breeding yellow pod plant with a true-breeding green pod plant. He referred to the two parental plants as the parental generation (P generation) and the resulting offspring were called the first filial or F1 generation.
