State and explain all the laws of Mendel on the Hereditary chapter .

Answered by S4MAEL

Mendel spent his time crossing pea plants. As he did this over & over & over & over & over again, he noticed some patterns to the inheritance of traits from one set of pea plants to the next. By carefully analyzing his pea plant numbers (he was really good at mathematics), he discovered three laws of inheritance.

Mendel's Laws are as follows:

1. the Law of Dominance
2. the Law of Segregation
3. the Law of Independent Assortment

Now, notice in that very brief description of his work that the words "chromosomes" or "genes" are nowhere to be found. That is because the role of these things in relation to inheritance & heredity had not been discovered yet. What makes Mendel's contributions so impressive is that he described the basic patterns of inheritance before the mechanism for inheritance (namely genes) was even discovered.

Hail to the "Father of Genetics" !

AnonymousGhost: explian each law for me please.I lost my notes

AnonymousGhost: i will mark you the Brainliast if you do so

S4MAEL: Law of segregationDuring gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.Law of independent assortmentGenes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.Law of dominanceSome alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele.
