As we have discussed in:

Interpretation of Mendel’s Monohybrid Cross: Law of Segregation -

  • Law of segregation is the most fundamental principle of heredity that has universal application with no exception. 
  • According to the Law of Segregation, two alleles of a gene controlling each character stay together in the individual, but during gamete formation by meiosis, the alleles of a pair segregate or separate from each other so that a gamete carries only one allele of a character.
  • Since one gamete contains one allele of each character, all gametes are always pure. The law of segregation is, therefore, also called the law of purity of gametes.
