During anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and are segregated to different cells.
This also segregates the homologous forms of a gene, or alleles, that are located on these chromosomes.

∙ 14y agoWhen segregation causes a species to be separated from its own kind, the organisms may start to undergo speciation. Speciation is when a species starts to mutate/change. This can be caused, among things, by the factors that affect it where it is living, like climate or predators. Since alleles are the genes of an organism, they are what change during speciation.

∙ 12y agoI am currently unsure about how it leads to segregation, but it leads to independent assortment in Metaphase I when the chromosomes are being aligned, and based on their formation it in return leads to independent assortment. :)
* I'll find the other part soon. :)*

∙ 9y agoDepending on if they are on the same chromosome and how close they are, alleles may segregate independently or they may be a much higher chance of them not segregating during meiosis (more specifically, prophase I).
If they are not on the same chromosome, then they segregate independently.

What is random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis called?
Segregation distortion, non-mendelian segregation.
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation
According to Mendel’s law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis?
According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.
The segregation of different traits' alleles happens?
meiosis (anaphase II)
How does mitosis differ from meiosis in terms of chromosome segregation?
Meiosis results in four cells, each with half the chromosomes of the original cell. Mitosis results in two cells, each which has the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
Segregation of alleles occurs during?
Segregation.
What is random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis called?
Segregation distortion, non-mendelian segregation.
How does the principle of segregation relate to meiosis?
The pair of factors are separated during the formation of gametes.
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation

According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.
What happens to chromosomes during meiosis according to mendels law of segregation?
According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.
According to Mendel’s law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis?
According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.
Steps in meiosis that increase variability?
crossing over of chromosomes, indepependent segregation of chromosomes and mutations
The segregation of different traits' alleles happens?
meiosis (anaphase II)
Do homologous chromosomes separate only in meiosis?
yes. in mitosis there is separation of sister chromatids
What can we observe in order to visualize Mendel's Law of Segregation?
homologous chromosomes separating during meiosis I
Propose how crossing-over during meiosis might affect the segregation of genes that are on the same chromosomes?
Segregation is the separating of genes into different cells during meiosis. We have found that there are many more genes that display segregation than there are chromosomes. The explaination is crossing-over - where during prophase I chromosome arms of homologous chromosomes break off and attach to each other. This allows genes on the same chromosome to segregate.
