Expert Solution

Step 1 Introduction

Sir Gregor Mendel was a priest and a teacher who did the famous hybridization experiment on garden pea plants. Mendel presented his work in a paper entitled “Experiments in plant hybridization” at the meeting of the natural history society of Brunn. The external appearance of an individual for any trait is called the phenotype. The genotype is the genetic constitution of an individual with respect to a single or set of characters. Mendel gave various postulates regarding the inheritance of characters and these postulates later became the law of Mendel. The three laws given by Mendel are the law of dominance, the law of segregation, and the law of independent assortment.
