HeterozygousHeterozygous: having : having differentdifferent alleles for alleles for a hereditary charactera hereditary character
HomozygousHomozygous: having : having identicalidentical alleles for alleles for a heredity charactera heredity character
Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance1. Law of Dominance: In heterozygous genotypes,
dominant alleles “hide” recessive alleles when both are inherited by an organism.
Mendel’s Laws of Inheritance
1. The Law of Segregation (separation): Each organism has 2 alleles for a trait. Only one allele from each pair will be passed on to the offspring.
