A Cleavage
B Melosis
C Fertilization
D Non-disjunction

Answer: Option [B]

Segregation of alleles takes place during Melosis. The law of segregation states that each factor in a pair separates during gamete formation, such that each gamete receives only one allele of a character. Gamete formation happens by the process of meiosis.
