Best Answer

Alleles are passed from parents to offspring. An allele is an alternative form of a gene(one member of a pair) that is located at a specific position on a specific chromosome. DNA codings determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. The process by which alleles are transmitted was discovered by Gregor Mendel and formulated in what is known as Mendel's Law of Segregation.

Mendel's experiments led him to conclude that there were three laws governing inheritance:

  • Law of segregation (each gamete carries only one allele for each gene).
  • Law of independent assortment (different traits segregate independently).
  • Law of dominance (an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the associated trait).
