Mendel's theory, known as the laws of inheritance, includes the concepts of segregation and independent assortment. The law of segregation states that alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation, ensuring that offspring inherit one allele from each parent. The law of independent assortment posits that the distribution of one pair of alleles into gametes does not affect the distribution of another pair, leading to genetic variation. These principles laid the groundwork for modern genetics by explaining how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
