Mendel deduced the law of , which states alleles of a gene move apart from each other during gamete formation.

Mendel deduced the law of segregation, which states that alleles of a gene separate from each other during gamete formation. Here are the steps explaining this process:

1. Each organism has two alleles for each trait. These alleles could be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).

2. During gamete formation, the two alleles for each trait separate from each other. This means that each gamete carries only one allele for each trait.

3. When fertilization occurs, the offspring receives one allele from

Mendel deduced the law of segregation, which states that alleles of a gene separate from each other during gamete formation. This means that each gamete will carry only one allele for each inherited trait. This law is based on Mendel's observations from his experiments with pea plants.

Here are the steps of how Mendel deduced this law:

1. Mendel began by cross-breeding two purebred pea plants with different traits - for example, one with purple flowers (PP) and one with white flowers (pp).

2. He observed that all of the first generation (F1) offspring had the dominant trait (purple flowers). This led him to conclude that each organism has two factors (now known as alleles) for each trait, and the trait that appears in the F1 generation is the dominant one.

3. Mendel then allowed the F1 generation to self-fertilize. He observed that in the second generation (F2), the recessive trait (white flowers) reappeared in about one quarter of the plants.

4. From this, Mendel deduced that the two alleles for each trait had separated (or segregated) from each other during the formation of the gametes in the F1 plants. Each F1 plant had then passed on one of these alleles to each of its F2 offspring.

5. This led to the formulation of Mendel's law of segregation, which states that during gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
