Question
A student is studying the relationship between meiosis and Mendel's laws. To help the student study, they have an illustration that shows the steps that occur in meiosis I.
A cell in Interphase 1 has two haploid chromosomes and an arrow pointing to Prophase 1. The cell in Prophase 1 has two diploid chromosomes and an arrow pointing to Metaphase 1. The cell in Metaphase 1 has two diploid chromosomes lined in the middle and an arrow pointing to Anaphase 1. The cell in Anaphase one has arrows pointing from the two diploid chromosomes to the poles of the cell and an arrow pointing to Telophase 1. The cell in Telophase 1 has one cell splitting into two, each with one diploid chromosome.
What question could the student ask that could help them understand what stage of meiosis I is related to the law of segregation?
A.
During which phase is DNA copied?
B.
During which phase do nucleoli begin to break down?
C.
During which stage are identical genes copied by duplicating chromosomes?
D.
During which phase are members of homologous chromosome pairs separated?

The question that could help the student understand what stage of meiosis I is related to the law of segregation is:
**D. During which phase are members of homologous chromosome pairs separated?**
This question relates directly to Mendel's law of segregation, which states that during the formation of gametes, the two alleles for a trait segregate from each other, so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. In meiosis I, this separation occurs during Anaphase I, when homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
