Segregating population

Hi all,

 

2 questions on the above.

 

1) Could someone give me a comprehensive definition of the term 'segregating population' please?

 

As I understand it, it is a population of one particular species that is the progeny of a cross, ie Mendels pea example would have a segregating population being the progeny of Aa and Rr. Is that right?

 

2) Is it only a segregating population that be used for molecular markers?

 

Many many thanks.

 

Phil
