Mendel's Law of Segregation states that during the formation of gametes (sex cells), the two alleles for a trait separate from each other, and each gamete receives only one allele. When fertilization occurs, the offspring inherit one allele from each parent. This law explains the pattern of inheritance for single gene traits and helps us understand how genetic diversity is maintained in populations.
