Mendel's **Law of Segregation** is also called:
ALaw of Dominance
BLaw of Independent Assortment
CLaw of Purity of Gametes
DLaw of Linkage
Answer & 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.
