What does the principle of independent assortment state?

The principle of independent assortment states that alleles for different genes segregate independently of one another during the formation of gametes. This means that the inheritance of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another gene located on a different chromosome.


What does Mendel's law of segregation state?

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.


These alleles show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype?

Dominant alleles carry traits or characteristics that will show no matter what. Recessive alleles carry traits where you must be homozygous for the recessive trait in order for it to show. Dominant alleles are represented by capital letters (EX: R or M) Recessive alleles are represented by lower case letters (EX: r or m) In order for a dominant allele to show, you can have either RR or Rr, since it is dominant. However, in order for a recessive allele to show, you MUST have rr. Hope this helps!
