Question

Q. What are the rules of inheritance of traits?

Answer 1

$\huge\sf\colorbox{plum}{Answer:}$

• The Mendel's laws of inheritance include law of dominance, law of segregation and law of independent assortment. The law of segregation states that every individual possesses two alleles and only one allele is passed on to the offspring.
• If a genetic trait is recessive, a person needs to inherit two copies of the gene for the trait to be expressed. Thus, both parents have to be carriers of a recessive trait in order for a child to express that trait.

Answer 2

★ The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair.

★ The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair. ★ The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.
