Question

law of Inheritance of traits​

Answer 1

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units, one from each parent. Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Answer 2

Gregor Mendel, through his work on pea plants, discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance.

Mendel tracked the segregation of parental genes and their appearance in the offspring as dominant or recessive traits.

Genes come in different varieties, called alleles. Somatic cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
