Laws of Inheritance by Gregor Mendel

1. Law of Dominance (First Law):

 The law of dominance states that when two alternative forms of a trait or character (genes) are present in an organism, one factor expresses itself and is called dominant, while the other that remains masked is called recessive.

2. Law of Segregation (Second Law):

 It says that the alleles that make up a gene separate from each other, or segregate, during the formation of gametes.

 3. Law of Independent Assortment (Third Law):

This law states that when two pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, segregation of one pair of character is independent of the other pair of characters at the time of gamete formation.
