Mendel's principle of segregation states that:?

Question

1. alleles from one parent mask the expression of alleles from the other parent.

2. alleles seperate from each other before forming gametes.

3. hybrids will express a phenotype intermediate between the two parental phenotypes.

4. true-breeding parents produce offspring of the same phenotype.

5. different loci separate from each other.

Answer 1

Ans. #2
This is a modern description of what occurs. However,I don't believe
that ole' Greg ever used the words "alleles" or "gametes" back in the days at the monestery.

Answer 2

Law of segregation explains how genes, which control the expression of hereditary traits, are transmitted from parents to offspring. According to this law, the two genes of a pair seperate during gamete formation, so that only one gene of a pair is received by each gamete. The female gamete is called egg and the male gamete is called sperm. When the egg and sperm unite during fertilization,the zygote or offspring receives two genes to make a pair, where one gene comes from the female parent through the egg and the other gene comes from male parent through the sperm
