Meiosis

Cell division

2. Mendel's law of segregation is also called __________.

Law of Independent Assortment

Law of Dominance

Law of Purity of Gametes

3. In Mendelian inheritance, the allele that is expressed is described as __________.

dominant

recessive

codominant

4. When does law of segregation occur?

anaphase

metaphase

telophase

5. The separation of allele pairs

Segregation

Dominance

Independent assortment

6. What is the law of segregation?

During the formation of gametes, the two alleles for each trait separate from each other, so that each gamete carries only one allele for each trait.

During the formation of gametes, the two alleles for each trait separate from each other, so that each gamete carries all alleles for each trait.

During the formation of gametes, the two alleles for each trait separate from each other, so that each gamete carries all alleles for all traits.

7. Which scenario breaks the law of segregation?

Alleles separating during gamete formation

A gamete carrying only one allele for each trait

A gamete with multiple alleles for a specific trait

8. What can we observe in order to visualize Mendel's law of segregation?

Genetic recombination between homologous chromosomes

Nondisjunction of homologous chromosomes

Separation of homologous chromosomes

9. What observable cellular process explains Mendel’s law of segregation?

Cytokinesis

Mitosis

Meiosis

10. Which of the following statements about the Law of Segregation is correct?

Segregation is the separation of different traits of the same gene during mitosis.

A Mendelian trait determination involves multiple alleles.

Two alleles for a trait segregate from each other, ending up in different gametes.
