- Diploid plant species have two sets of chromosomes, each of which can possess a different allele for a particular gene. For example, a gene for seed color might have the two alleles, A and a. Allele A causes one phenotype (e.g., brown seed color) and allele a causes a different phenotype (e.g., white seed color).
Jul 27, 2022 · The genetic constitution of the developing embryo within the seed is 50% from the paternal plant, 50% from the maternal plant. The particular combination of genes in the developing seed is different from that in either parent plant, and from the other seeds on the same maternal parent.
- Mendel’s Law of Segregation of genes (the “First Law”) The Law of Segregation states that every individual organism contains two alleles for each trait, and that these alleles segregate (separate) during meiosis such that each gamete contains only one of the alleles.
- Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment (the “Second Law”) Mendel’s second law. The law of independent assortment; unlinked or distantly linked segregating genes pairs behave independently.
- Mendel’s Law of Dominance (the “Third Law”) The genotype of an individual is made up of the many alleles it possesses. An individual’s physical appearance, or phenotype, is determined by its alleles as well as by its environment.
Aug 9, 2019 · The law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes are sorted independently during gamete formation, implying that alleles do not affect each other or their heritability.
Seed color is governed by a single gene with two alleles. The yellow-seed allele is dominant and the green-seed allele is recessive. When true-breeding plants were cross-fertilized, in which one parent had yellow seeds and one had green seeds, all of the F 1 hybrid offspring had yellow seeds.

When true-breeding plants were cross-fertilized, in which one parent had yellow seeds and one had green seeds, all of the F 1 hybrid offspring had yellow seeds.

Mendel's First Law — the law of segregation — states that during gamete formation each member of the allelic pair separates from the other member to form the genetic constitution of the gamete. That is, in the F 1 , the Ss diploid produces S and s gametes, not Ss gametes.
