Segregation (Genome)

The normal biological process whereby the two pieces of a chromosome pair are separated during meiosis and randomly distributed to the germ cells.

Segregation (Metal)

Nonuniform distribution of alloying elements, impurities or phases.Nonumiform distribution of alloying elements, impurities or microphases.In an alloy, concentration of alloying elements at specific regions, usually as a result of the primary crystallization of one phase with the subsequent concentration of other elements in the remaining liquid.

Segregation (Pavement)

The tendency, as concrete is caused to flow laterally, for coarse aggregate and drier material to remain behind and for mortar and wetter material to flow ahead. This also occurs in a vertical direction when wet concrete is over-vibrated, the mortar and wetter material rising to the top. In the vertical direction, segregation may also be called Stratification.

Segregation (Political)

The separation of people in society-in schools, the workplace, and public places-on the basis, usually, of race. The system of apartheid in South Africa was based on the principle of segregation, and segregation was the norm in the American South until the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s brought it to an end.
