Mendel's principle of segregation implies that the two members of an allelic pair of genes are distributed to separate gametes.
Mendel's principle of segregation is a principle of hereditary that was discovered by Gregor Mendel in the 1860s. The principle states that during gamete formation, the allele pairs for each genes separate (segregate) from each other and independently unite at fertilization. It explains that in eukaryotes, the separation of the allele pairs of genes occurs during meiosis and it result in the production of gametes (reproductive cells).
