Law of Segregation and Law of Dominance are the fundamental principles in genetics, formulated by George Johann Mendel, known as "father of genetics". These are laws that explain the inheritance of traits from the parent cells. Law of Segregation Examples: Pea Plant Pollination Pea plants can self-pollinate, or they can be pollinated by placing pollen from the stamens of a parent plant on the pistil of another plant. Since Mendel was interested in the offspring of two plants with different traits, he removed the pollen-bearing tops of the stamens from some plants and pollinated their pistils with pollen from specific plants. This process allowed him to control plant breeding. Mendel started by focusing on flower ... While our focus is on the Law of Dominance and the Law of Segregation , it's worth briefly mentioning Mendel’s third law—the Law of Independent Assortment. This law states that alleles for different traits segregate independently during the formation of gametes, leading to genetic variation. Law of Segregation definition: two members of a pair of alleles separate during gamete formation. Find out more about its importance and examples.
