Question

State Mendel’s laws.

Answer 1

1. Law of dominance: In a given cross between two organisms with pure contrasting alleles or characters, only one allele is expressed in F₁ generation. The character that appears is called dominant, and the other recessive.
2. Law of segregation: When a pair of contrasting alleles come together due to hybridization in a hybrid individual, the two characters remain together without mixing or losing their purity. They segregate (separate) in the gametes of the hybrid.
3. Law of Independent Assortment: When the parents differ in two or more alleles then the inheritance of one pair of alleles does not depend on the other pair.
