Mendel's **Law of Segregation** is also called:

  1. Law of Dominance
  2. Law of Independent Assortment
  3. Law of Purity of Gametes
  4. Law of Linkage
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Law of Purity of Gametes

During gamete formation the two alleles of a gene **segregate** (separate), so every gamete is **pure** — carries only one allele. **Hence 'law of purity of gametes' is an alternative name for the law of segregation.**
