Mendel's experiment with pea plants helped explain how dominant and recessive traits are passed down, clarifying how traits like blue eyes can appear in a generation with brown-eyed parents. Understanding Mendel's laws, including the Law of Segregation, can provide insights into predicting offspring ratios and inheritance patterns.
Insights
- Mendel's experiment with pea plants demonstrated the Law of Dominance, where dominant traits overshadow recessive ones, leading to specific ratios in offspring.
- Understanding Mendel's laws of inheritance can clarify how seemingly contradictory traits, like blue eyes from brown-eyed parents, can be passed down through generations.
