The principle of segregation

The principle that states that alleles separate during gamete formation is called the Principle of Segregation. According to this principle, during the formation of gametes (eggs or sperm), the pairs of alleles for a particular gene separate or segregate from each other, so that each gamete receives only one allele from each parent. This segregation of alleles ensures the variability of traits in offspring.
