Answer 1

Mendel discovered three laws through his experiments.

Law of dominance; “when a cross is made between a pair of pure contrasting characters, only one of them is able to express itself phenotypically while the other remains hidden in F1 generation.”


Law of segregation; “the two members of a pair of factors separate during the formation of gametes. They do not blend with each other but segregate out into different gametes. Thus any gamete is not impure.”
