<span>Mendel's principle of segregation implies that the two members of an allelic pair of genes separate during gamete formation, or meiosis. This is the process where a cell divides into sex cells in order to pass on genetic information onto the offspring. The two copies of an allelic pair of genes separate independently and each one randomly ends up in one of the sex cells formed to create a unique offspring as well as genetic diversity.</span><span />
Organisms and abiotic factors
The Coriolis effect is caused by earth spinning in its own axis. The Coriolis effect is the way all things that are freely moving across the surface of the earth tend to curve as they move. This causes winds to blow in certain patterns that in turn affect ocean surface currents.
Due to the Coriolis effect, surface currents in the northern hemisphere oceans flow clockwise in large circular patterns called gyres, while those in the southern hemisphere oceans flow counter-clockwise
