Mendel's law of segregation is also known as the law of:

Answer: purity of gametes.

  • A independent assortment
  • B purity of gametes
  • C partial dominance
  • D complete linkage

Correct answer: B. purity of gametes

Explanation: During gamete formation the two alleles of a pair separate so each gamete carries only one, making gametes pure; hence the law of purity of gametes.

Monohybrid Cross: Tt x TtParent 1 (Tt)Parent 2 (Tt)gametes: T, t (from each parent)TtTtTTTtTtttRatio 1 TT : 2 Tt : 1 tt (3 tall : 1 short if T = tall is dominant)
