Law of Segregation
This law is based on the fact that the gene does not show any blending on itself and both the characters of a parent are present. In some cases, one can be dominant or a mix of the characters. As in Mendel’s experiment, 1st generation showed all tall peas but the 2nd generation had both dwarf and tall peas.
Concept of Dominance: Every gene contains some kind of information in itself. Information about the character of a parent or a particular trait. The concept of dominance in genetics refers to how certain versions of a gene, called alleles, can have a stronger effect on a trait than others.
Inheritance of One Gene Notes
We never wonder why Lion can give birth to Lions only, or why a bird can reproduce in the same species and no other species. Not everything is possible, Isn’t it? Also, No human being look exactly identical, even with twins there are differences in every individual. Some siblings look similar while at the same time, some look really different.
Have you ever thought about who causes all these differences? All these questions are answered in the branch of science named Genetics. In this article, we will know more about the Inheritance of one gene.
