Study Notes

Mendel's Laws of Heredity

Law of Dominance: One allele can be dominant over the other, resulting in its expression in the organism.
Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by two alleles, one inherited from each parent, which separate during meiosis.
Law of Independent Assortment: Alleles for different traits are sorted independently during gamete formation, ensuring that the combination of alleles is random.

Independent Assortment in Genetic Crosses

In a cross involving two traits, each with two alleles, the possible combinations of alleles are 16 (4 x 4).
The possible genotypes of offspring are determined by the alleles inherited from each parent.
The probability of each genotype is determined by the number of possible combinations of alleles.
