What is the law of Segregation? A) Genes segregate during Mitosis B) Trait are inherited separately C) During Meiosis each Allele for a specific trait separate and are passed down separately
Genetic Variation
Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.
Quantitative Genetics
Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.

Segregation is the separation of allele pairs which has different traits of the same gene. It takes place during meiosis so that they can transfer specifically to separate gametes. The individual has two alleles for each definite characteristic, and during the development of gametes, these alleles become separated. In simpler words, there is one allele in each gamete. The principle of segregation is most important because it gives an idea of how genotypic ratios are produced in the haploid gametes.
