  • A gene can exist in more than one form.
  • Organisms inherit two alleles for each trait.
  • When gametes are produced (by meiosis), allele pairs separate leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait.
  • When the two alleles of a pair are different, one is dominant and the other is recessive.

Is it true that Mendels principles apply not to just to pea plants but to other organism as well?

Yes, Mendel's principles of inheritance, such as the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment, apply to many other organisms beyond pea plants. These principles have been found to hold true in various animals, plants, and even humans, demonstrating their widespread relevance in genetics.


When two traits are on different chromosomes how are they inherited?

When two traits are located on different chromosomes, they assort independently during meiosis. This means that the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of the other trait, resulting in a random assortment of genetic information. This independent assortment allows for a variety of genetic combinations in the offspring.


What are the 5 basic laws of genetics?

1. Law of Segregation 2. Law of Independent Assortment 3. Law of Dominance 1st Law:Out of a pair of contrasting characters present together, only one is able to express itself while the other remains suppressed. 2nd Law:When there are two pairs of contrasting characters, the distribution of the members of one pair into the gametes is indipendentof the distribution of the other pair. 3rd Law:two members of a pair of factors separate during the formation of gametes. jfd_08


What does Gregor Mendel's first law of heredity-the law of segregation-state about genes?

Mendel's first law of heredity, the law of segregation, states that individuals possess two alleles for each trait, one inherited from each parent. These alleles separate during the formation of gametes, with each gamete carrying only one allele for each trait. This explains how traits are inherited in a predictable manner.


That each gamete contains a single allele of the eye color gene is an illustration of?

The principle of segregation, which states that during gamete formation, the two alleles for a gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele. This results in genetic diversity among offspring.

Mendel's law of segregation states that organisms inherit two copies of each gene and that organism donate copies to offspring in predictable ratios.


What happens to chromosomes during meiosis according to mendels law of segregation?

According to mendel's law of segregation, what happens to chromosomes during meiosis is that, allele pairs do separate leaving each and every cell with a single allele for each trait.


How does dropping the stick on the table and transcribing the letters on the sides facing up follow Mendels Law of Segregation?

Dropping the sick simulates segregation because it determines what alleles end up in the gamete. You can't have both alleles.

Describe Mendel’s law of segregation and state how it connects to meiosis.?

 Mendels law of segregation states that an organism inherits two copies of each gene, one from each parent. An organism can donate only one copy pf each gene in their gametes. the two copies of each gene segregate, or separate, during gamete formation. The law connects to meiosis because homologous chromosomes seperate into different daughter cells and inherit only a chromosome from the parent cell, this connects to his law as an organism only inherits one trait from their parent.
