Which of the following stage of cell division resembles the 'Law of Segregation'?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
B
Anaphase is the stage of cell division that resembles the 'Law of segregation'.
The law of segregation states that each individual that is a diploid has a pair of alleles (copy) for a particular trait. Each parent passes an allele at random to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism. The allele that contains the dominant trait determines the phenotype of the offspring.
Mendel's Segregation law occurs in anaphase (I and II) of meiosis. It is a phase in the first meiotic division in which the homologous chromosomes are segregated into two daughter nuclei with their various versions of each gene.
