In the 1800’s, Gregor Mendel studied the genetics of pea plants. His findings led him to develop the laws of heredity. One of these laws is known as the Law of Segregation. During fertilization, gametes from each parent combine to create a zygote. The Law of Segregation explains that during their formation, each gamete receives one allele for each of the parent’s traits.
What process creates the gametes described in the Law of Segregation?
A
Mitosis
B
Meiosis
C
Cell differentiation
D
Gene expression

B — Meiosis.
Meiosis is the reduction division that produces haploid gametes and separates homologous chromosome pairs (and thus alleles) into different gametes, consistent with Mendel’s Law of Segregation.
