State the three Mendel's laws of inheritance.
Answers
Explanation:
The key principles of Mendelian inheritance are summed up by Mendel's three laws: the Law of Independent Assortment, Law of Dominance, and Law of Segregation
Out of a pair of contrasting characters present together, only one is able to express itself while the other remains suppressed. The one that expresses is the dominant character and the one that is unexpressed is the recessive one.
(ii)LawofSegregation: The two members of a pair of factors separate during the formation of gametes. The gametes combine together by random fusion at the time of zygote formation. This law is also known as 'law of purity of gametes'.
(iii)LawofIndependentAssortment: When there are two pairs of contrasting characters, the distribution of the members of one pair into the gametes is independent of the distribution of the other pair.
