Answer

• homologous chromosomes

Explanation:

According to the law of segregation, each individual has a copies of a particular allele. The physical basis of Mendel’s law of segregation is the first division of meiosis in which the homologous chromosomes which have different allele separate into daughter nuclei. The separation of the homologous chromosomes occurs through recombination during meiosis I.
