Law of Dominance & Law of Segregation

LAW OF DOMINANCE: simply means that the most dominant trait will be seen in the phenotype; always represented with a capital letter on the punnett squares

LAW OF SEGREGATION: each gamete (egg/sperm) will get only half of each allele (trait) to pass along...this law is what allows us to not look 100% like our parents or siblings- thank goodness :)
- this law is easily expressed with your punnett squares in a monohybrid cross


INTERACTIVE on heredity & traits.
