GENETICS→ The study of heredity and variation.
The father of genetics is known as Lennox…(ok im kidding) his name is
Gregor Mendel…hence the introduction of his laws;
1. The law of dominance
● When two homozygouus organisms with contrasting
characteristics are crossed,all the individuals of the F1
generation will display the dominant trait
● An individual that is heterozygous for a particular
characteristic will have the dominant trait as the phenotype.
2. Mendel’s Principle of Segregation
● An organism possesses two 'factors' which separate or
segregate so that each gamete contains only one of these
'factors'.
3. The law of independent assortment
● During a hybrid cross (crossing of two pairs of traits),an
assortment of each pair of traits is independent of the other.
