Segregation is the principle that states that homologous chromosomes, with their different versions of genes, separate from each other and end up in different cells during meiosis I. This is due to the separation of homologous chromosomes during the anaphase of the first meiotic division. Dominance/recessiveness and independent assortment are not specifically related to this event in meiosis.
