A
- Law of Segregation
- Law of Independent Assortment
- Law of dominance
2
Q
Explain the Law of Segregation
A
During the formation of gametes, chromosome pairs are separated.
3
Q
Explain the Law of Independent Assortment
A
Alleles on pairs of chromosomes are allocated to gametes randomly.
4
Q
Explain the Law of Dominance
A
Some alleles are dominant to others. Dominant alleles will be expressed over recessive alleles as the phenotype depends on the presence of dominant alleles.
