Gregor Mendel, the “Father of Modern Genetics,” established the foundation of genetic inheritance through his work with pea plants. His Law of Segregation, also known as the Law of Purity of Gametes, describes how alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation, ensuring offspring inherit one allele from each parent. This blog post explores Mendel’s groundbreaking principle, its scientific significance, and provides a clear example to illustrate the process. Dive into the fascinating world of genetics and understand how Mendel’s insights continue to shape our knowledge of heredity.
