law of segregation??????
Answers
Answer:
The principles that govern heredity were discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1860s. One of these principles, now called Mendel's Law of Segregation, states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation and randomly unite at fertilization
Answer:
Gregor Mendel studied inheritance of traits in pea plants. He proposed a model where pairs of "heritable elements," or genes, specified traits.
Genes come in different versions, or alleles. A dominant allele hides a recessive allele and determines the organism's appearance.
When an organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one gene copy, which is selected randomly. This is known as the law of segregation.
A Punnett square can be used to predict genotypes (allele combinations) and phenotypes (observable traits) of offspring from genetic crosses.
A test cross can be used to determine whether an organism with a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous.
