Mendel's law of segregation states that

• pairs of alleles are dependent on one another when separation occurs during gamete formation

• pairs of alleles separate independently of one another after gamete formation

• each pair of alleles remains together when gametes are formed

• only one of the two alleles for a gene is put into a gamete; offspring receive from each parent one allele for each gene
