And notice what happens in the process of anaphase. So our chromosome that came from the father is separated from the chromosome that came from the mother. And this means that our genes that are homologous, that code for the same type of traits, are separated during the process of anaphase. And this is known as the law of segregation. So notice that the original maternal and paternal homologous pair are separated. So this is separated from this, this is separated from this, and this green one is separated from this orange one.
