The Principle of Segregation, also known as Mendel's First Law, states that alternative alleles for a trait segregate from one another during gamete formation and remain distinct. This means that during meiosis, the paired alleles for a trait separate from each other into different gametes, so that each gamete carries only one allele for that trait. This explains why offspring can inherit different combinations of alleles from their parents.
