Law of Segregation, first proposed by Gregor Mendel, states that:

• Each organism carries two copies of every genetic factor (alleles).
• These alleles segregate during the formation of gametes.
• Each gamete receives only one allele of a gene.
• This ensures that offspring inherit one factor from each parent.

Lyric Line	Explanation
The law of segregation	Mendel’s first law of inheritance
The two copies of each genetic factor	Organisms carry alleles in pairs
Segregate during development of gametes	Alleles separate when gametes form
Ensure offspring attains one factor	Each gamete contributes one allele

"Two Split, One Each"

Meaning: Two alleles split during gamete formation, and each gamete gets one.

1. Who proposed Law of Segregation?

Gregor Mendel Charles Darwin

2. How many copies of each gene does an organism carry?

Two One

3. What happens during gamete formation?

Alleles segregate Alleles merge

4. How many alleles does each gamete receive?

One Two

5. Why is segregation important?

To ensure genetic variation To remove genes

6. Another term for genetic factor?

Allele Atom

7. Offspring inherit one factor from?

Each parent Father only

8. The law applies to?

All sexually reproducing organisms Non-living things

9. What ensures genetic diversity?

Segregation & recombination Static alleles

10. Law of segregation is also called?

Mendel’s First Law Darwin’s Law

Drag items into correct zones:

• Law of Segregation: Mendel’s First Law.
• Each organism carries two alleles for each gene.
• Alleles segregate during gamete formation.
• Each gamete receives one allele.
• This ensures genetic variation in offspring.
