Discuss the effects of Mendel's two law (segregation and independent assortment)give an example
Answers
THE LAW OF SEGREGATION
The law of segregation states that when a pair of contrasting characters is brought together in heterozygote (hybrid ) the two members of the allelic pair remain together without blending .
They two separate out forming two types of gametes in F1 generation 50% have dominance and other 50% are recessive gene . The random fusion to produce F2 generation results into four different combinations .
THE LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT :
According to the law of independent assortment when there is simultaneous inheritance of two pairs of contrasting characters . The distribution of factors of each pair in the gametes is independent of the distribution of other pair of characters . It means during gamete formation segregating pair of unit factors assort independent of each other .
