Question

which of the following phases of cell division confirms mendels observation of the segregation of alleles in gamete formation? prophase i of meiosis anaphase i of meiosis anaphase ii of meiosis metaphase i of meiosis

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation states that alleles separate during gamete formation. In anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes (which carry alleles) separate and move to opposite poles. This directly shows the segregation of alleles as described by Mendel. Prophase I involves crossing - over, anaphase II separates sister chromatids (not homologous chromosomes with alleles in the context of Mendel's segregation), and metaphase I is about alignment of homologous chromosomes, not their separation.

Answer:

anaphase I of meiosis
