In genetics, the separation of alleles on homologous chromosomes during meiosis so
that the haploid daughter cells have one allele or the other, but never both, is also referred to as
a) mendel's first law.
b) segregation.
c) random genetic drift.
d) both the first and second answer choices are correct.
e) all of the above answer choices are correct.

D) Both the first and second answer choices are correct.

Explanation:

Mendel's first law  is also usually referred to as law of segregation, it posits that allele pairs (alleles on homologous chromosomes during meiosis)  separate or segregate during gamete formation and randomly unite at fertilization so  that the haploid daughter cells have one allele or the other, but never both.
