Question #3
According to Mendel's law of segregation, the alleles for a trait separate during:
A. Mitosis
B. Gamete formation
C. Embryogenesis
D. Fertilization

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Mendel's first law (law of segregation) states that two alleles of a gene separate during gamete formation (meiosis) so that each gamete receives only one allele. This is due to the separation of homologous chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis. Fertilization restores the diploid number. This law explains the 3:1 phenotypic ratio in monohybrid crosses. Mitosis maintains the allele pair.
