Expert Solution
Step 1

Mendel's Heredity Laws are commonly phrased as follows:

1) The Law of Segregation: A gene pair defines each hereditary trait. Parent genes are unevenly scattered to sex chromosomes, with each sex cell containing just one of the pair's alleles. When sex cells join in fertilisation, offspring acquire one hereditary gene from each parent.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genetics for distinct traits are sorted separately from each other because then one trait's transmission is separate of another's transmission.

3) The Law of Dominance: When an organism has many versions of a gene, the dominant form is expressed.
