| The laws of Mendel concerning inheritance are the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. |
|
| According to the law of independent assortment, the elements for one character recombined independently of those for another. |
|
| From this result and others like it, he deduced the independent assortment of separate gene pairs at gamete formation. |
|
| Consequently, model fitting using this law is a reasonable strategy, especially when only one locus is involved and there is no need to invoke the law of independent assortment. |
|
| In Mendel's second law of independent assortment it was observed that when two or more factors are considered for their subsequent inheritance, these factors tend to assort at random during gametogenesis. |
|
| Mendel's law of independent assortment states that each pair of alleles for a specific gene segregates independently of the alleles for a different gene. |
|
| This is a consequence of the independent assortment of chromosomes, which results in approximate orthogonality between unlinked locations in the genome. |
|
| The second rule, called the law of independent assortment, states that for any one gamete, the distribution of inherited alleles is random. |
|
| The later discovery of chromosomes as the carriers of genetic units supported Mendel's two basic laws, known as the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. |
|
| Independent assortment would be expected to give in the progeny of the backcross the following: 1 gray-long: 1 gray-vestigial: 1 black-long: 1 black-vestigial. |
