Question
Read the given statements carefully.Statement I Two genes segregate to resultant gametes one in each gameteStatement II Two alleles of a gene segregate to resultant gametes both in each gameteStatement III Two alleles of a gene segregate to resultant gametes one in each gameteStatement IV Four genes segregate to resultant gametes one in each gameteAmong the given statements, which one corresponds CORRECTLY to Mendel’s law of segregation? Statement I Statement II Statement III Statement IV
Solution
The statement that correctly corresponds to Mendel’s law of segregation is Statement III: "Two alleles of a gene segregate to resultant gametes one in each gamete".
Mendel's law of segregation, also known as the first law of inheritance, states that during the formation of reproductive cells (gametes), pairs of hereditary traits (genes) separate so that offspring receive one factor from each parent. This is also known as the concept of allele segregation.
So, in the context of the given statements, Statement III is the most accurate representation of this law. It correctly states that two alleles of a gene (one from each parent) segregate during the formation of gametes, with one allele ending up in each gamete.
