Question
Explain the laws that Mendel derived from his monohybrid crosses.
✓
Answer
Law of dominance and law of segregation are the two laws, Mendel derived from his monohybrid crosses.
- Law of dominance explains that in a dissimilar pair of factors of a trait, one of them expresses itself (dominant) and the other remains hidden (recessive).
- It also explains the expression of both the traits in the F, progeny, in a ratio of 3 : 1.
- Law of segregation states that the members of an allelic pair that remained together in the parent/ hybrid, segregate during gamete formation and enter different gametes.
- A homozygous parent produces all gametes that are similar while the heterozygous one produces two kinds of gametes, each having one allele for a trait.
