Question

Easy question about Mendel:

What observable cellular process explains Mendel's Law of Segregation?

(A) The behavior of sex-linked genes (

B) Sister Chromatids separating during mitsosis (

C) The replication of DNA

(D) Homologous Chromosomes separating during Meiosis I

(E) Homologous Chromosomes separating during Meiosis II

Answer 1

The observable cellular process that explains Mendel's Law of Segregation;

(D) Homologous Chromosomes separating during Meiosis I (As in this stage of stage of cellular division i.e. the first division of meiosis in the homologous chromosomes which carry the different versions of each gene are segregated into the resulting daughter nuclei, independently, (lumenlearning, 2020). While in other options such as the case of mitosis they are not passed on to the offspring so they don’t explain the law of segregation)
