Basic genetic terms. Mendel's laws of inheritance. Complexities of genetic expression. Mendelian genetics in Humans Mendelian GeneticsK. Sathasivan
Allele pairs segregate (separate) during gamete formation and the paired condition is restored by the random fusion of gametes at fertilization. Law of Segregation
Figure 14.2 Mendel tracked heritable characters for three generations
Table 14.1 The Results of Mendel’s F1 Crosses for Seven Characters in Pea Plants
Law: The segregation of each allele pair is independent of other allele pairs. The individual allele pairs need to be located on separate loci, far from each other to allow independent assortment during gamete formation. Law of Independent Assortment
