Welcome to my genetics page. Genetics is a very important thing in life.Augustinian monk Gregor Mendel discovered genetics by studying pea plant over time. It teaches about heredity and genes.
Some rules about genetics are:
each inherited trait has two alternative form
Genes come in pairs
Mendel wrote 3 laws of heredity:
1) The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair. Parental
genes are randomly separated to the sex cells so that sex cells contain only one
gene of the pair. Offspring therefore inherit one genetic allele from each parent when
sex cells unite in fertilization.
2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted
separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on
the inheritance of another.
3) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene will express
the form that is dominant
