प्रश्न
Why law of segregation is also called the law of purity of gametes?
उत्तर
- A diploid organism contains two factors for each trait in its diploid cells and the factors segregate during the formation of gametes.
- The two alleles (contrasting characters) do not mix, alter or dilute each other and the gametes formed are ‘pure’ for the characters which they carry.
- A gamete may carry either a dominant or recessive factor but not both.
Hence, this law is also called the law of purity of gametes.
