According to the segregation principle, the individual with the genotype Bb can produce two types of gametes. One of them carries the dominant allele B, while the other one carries the recessive allele b.
What does the segregation principle state?
The segregation principle is the First Mendels' Low. It states that alleles separate independently during gametes formation.
In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, and each of them migrates to the opposite poles of the cell carrying one of the alleles.
Alleles are responsible for the expressed phenotypes. One of the alleles comes from one parental individual, while the other one comes from the other parent.
When sex cells are produced, alleles separate originating two types of gametes, each with only one allele.
In the exposed example, the individual has the genotype Bb. There is a dominant allele and a recessive allele.
The gametes produced by this individual are haploid cells, one of them carries the B dominant allele and the other one carries the b recessive allele.
Parental) Bb
Gametes) B and b
