one form each parent. So this means that a homolohous loci
may have matching alleles, as in the true-breeding plants of Mendel's P
generation(parental). If the alleles differ, then there will be F hybrids. The
third idea states that if the two alleles differ, the receessive allele will
have no affect on the organism's appearance. So a F hybrid plant that has
purple flowers, the dominant allele will be the purple-color allele and the
recessive allele would be the white-color allele. The idea is that the two genes
for each character segregate during gamete production.
Independent assortment states that each member of a paor of homologous
chromosome segregates during meiosis independently of the members of other pairs,
so that alleles carried on diffenret chromosomes are different distributed
randomly to the gametes.
In conclusion, Mendel's work was very inportant to the science community
and to this day are being studied. ...
