Law of Segregation & Allele Behavior — NEET Biology
🔥 Predicted for NEET 2027This law is based on the fact that the alleles do not show any blending and that both the characters are recovered as such in the F₂ generation though one of these is not seen at the F₁ stage. Though the parents contain two alleles during gamete formation, the factors or alleles of a pair segregate from each other such that a gamete receives only one of the two factors. Of course, a homozygous parent produces all gametes that are similar while a heterozygous one produces two kinds of gametes each having one allele with equal proportion.

View solution & NCERT explanation
Correct answer: A — A–(ii), B–(i), C–(iii), D–(iv), E–(v)
Law of segregation = allele separation; incomplete dominance = pink; codominance = IA, IB both expressed; test cross uses recessive parent; phenotype vs genotype distinction.
