Inheritance is the acquiring of genetic characteristics or traits from parents by their offspring. In humans, both parents equally contribute to the inheritance of traits. In 1860, Gregor Mendel studied the rules of inheritance of traits. He conducted an experiment on pea plants for the same. He cultivated pea plants and observed their pattern of inheritance from one generation to next generation. This observation resulted in the discovery of three laws of inheritance, famously known as Mendel’s laws of Inheritance. Let us have a brief discussion on the contribution of Mendel in establishing the law of inheritance of traits.
Mendel’s Contribution to the Inheritance Law
Mendel is known as the father of genetics. Mendel’s laws are Law of Dominance, Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment. These laws come into existence by experiments on pea plants with a variety of traits.
In the first experiment, only single character (plant height) was considered and was known as monohybrid inheritance. Another experiment was based on two characters (seed shape and color), thus called dihybrid inheritance.
