Mendel's Law of inheritance
 |
The basis
of experiment Mendel put forward a some laws which a latter known as the
Mendel’s law of Inheritance. This law include law of unit character, law of dominance, law of segregation.
1. Law of
Unit Character: All characters of the plant are unit by themselves, being
independent of one another. So far as rare inheritance is each corner. There
are certain factors or determiners of unit characters. This determiners control
the expression of characters during development of the plant. One of each pair
of unit characters comes from the father & the other comes from the mother.
In the F2 generation these 2 unique characters split up in definite proportion.
2. Law of
Dominance: Of the 2 contrasting hereditary unique character the one that
express in F2 generation is called Dominant & the other which remains laten
is calles recessive. For ex.: If tall & dwarf plants are cross then
tallness being the dominant character over the dwarfness. All plant in the F1
generation will be tall. But Dwarfness which remains latent in F1 generation
with express itself in F2 generation. Similarly round seeded plant is dominant
over wrinkle seeded plant. Yellow seeded plant is dominant over green seeded
plant.
3. Law of
segregation: Due to dominant factor, all plants of F1 generation will exhibit
the characters of their dominant parent. The recessive character will however
remain present in the somatic cells of the F1 individuals throughout their
whole life but during the formation of gamens by reduction division each
contrasting character segregate out & if such plant of F1 generations are
allowed to be self polynated then the resultant individual will show characters
of either parent. That is both the parental characters of the parents remain
suppressed in F2 generation. It means that the contrasting characters doesnot
blend, contraminate or affect each other. While they are together in the hybrid
in F1 generation or in subsequent generation Mendel thought that there was
something which was transmitted from the parent to the offspring without undergoing
any modification. This different genes responsible for different characters
segregate out in pure form an pass on to different gamete. This law is also
called the law of purity of gametes or law of segregation.
