Which observable cellular process explains Mendel's law of segregation?
A
Protein synthesis
B
Meiosis
C
DNA replication
D
Mitosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand Mendel's law of segregation: It states that during the formation of gametes, the two alleles for a trait separate, so each gamete receives only one allele.
Identify the cellular process responsible for gamete formation: Meiosis is the process that produces gametes (sperm and eggs) in sexually reproducing organisms.
Examine the stages of meiosis: Meiosis consists of two rounds of division, meiosis I and meiosis II, which result in four haploid cells from one diploid cell.
Focus on meiosis I: During anaphase I, homologous chromosomes are separated, which is the physical basis for Mendel's law of segregation.
Recognize the outcome: The separation of homologous chromosomes ensures that each gamete receives only one allele from each pair, aligning with Mendel's law.
