Question

according to mendels law of segregation, how are alleles separated? during gamete formation during fertilization during pollination after fertilization

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Mendel's Law of Segregation states that alleles (alternative forms of a gene) separate during gamete (sex cell) formation. This is because during meiosis (the process by which gametes are formed), homologous chromosomes (which carry alleles) pair up and then separate, ensuring that each gamete receives only one allele for each gene. Fertilization is when gametes combine, pollination is related to plant reproduction (transfer of pollen), and after fertilization is when the zygote starts developing - none of these are when alleles separate according to Mendel's Law of Segregation.

Answer:

during gamete formation
