Question

What are Mendel's three laws of inheritance?

Ankita Agarwal · Accepted Answer

Here is the answer to your question,
Law of Dominance

According to this law, characters are controlled by discrete
units called factors, which occur in pairs with one member of the
pair dominating over the other in a dissimilar pair
This law explains expression of only one of the parental
character in F1 generation and expression of both in F2
generation

Law of Segregation

This law states that the two alleles of a pair segregate or
separate during gamete formation such that a gamete receives only
one of the two factors
In homozygous parents, all gametes produced are similar; while
in heterozygous parents, two kinds of gametes are produced in equal
proportions

Law of independent Assortment

When two pairs of traits are combined in a hybrid, one pair of
character segregates independent of the other pair of
character
In a dihybrid cross between two plants having round yellow
(RRYY) and wrinkled green seeds (rryy), four types of gametes (RY,
Ry, rY, ry) are produced Each of these segregate independent of
each other, each having a frequency of 25% of the total gametes
produced
