state the laws of inheritance ( law of dominance, law of independent and law of segregation )
Answers
Answer:
The laws of inheritence are:
> Law of dominance: Out of a pair of contrasting characters present together, only one is able to express itself, while the other remains suppressed.
> Law of Segregation (also known as the law of purity of gametes): The two members of a pair of factors seperate during the formation of gametes.
> Law of independent assortment : When there are two pairs of characters, the distribution of alleles of one character is independent of the distribution of alleles of the other character.
Explanation:
Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygote, one trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic. Rather than both alleles contributing to a phenotype, the dominant allele will be expressed exclusively.
Mendel took a pair of contradicting traits together for crossing, for example colour and the shape of seeds at a time. He picked the wrinkled-green seed and round-yellow seed and crossed them. ... During monohybrid cross of these traits, he observed the same pattern of dominance and inheritance.
