1. Fundamentals of Mendelian Genetics

2. Law of Segregation
The law of segregation tells us that our 2 alleles for every gene separate in the preparation steps for sexual reproduction.

3. Law of Independent Assortment
The Law of Independent Assortment states that when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together.

4. Terms To Know Genotype: The combination of genes in an organism.
Phenotype: The physical characteristics
Allele: Different forms of the same gene
Gene: A piece of DNA that gives information for a specific trait
Heterozygous: Two different alleles for a given trait (Bb)
Homozygous: Two of the same alleles for a given trait (BB, bb)
Punnett square – tool (model) used to indicate all possible genotypic outcomes of a particular cross or breeding experiment and to calculate genotypic and phenotypic probabilities in offspring
