Mendelian inheritance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Law of Segregation (The 'First Law')
The Law of Segregation states that when any individual produces gametes, the copies of a gene separate so that each gamete receives only one copy. A gamete will receive one allele or the other. The direct proof of this was later found when the process of meiosis came to be known. In meiosis the paternal and maternal chromosomes get separated and the alleles with the traits of a character are segregated into two different gametes."
