| Description | Close to 150 years ago, Gregor Mendel carried out experiments on the garden $pea.^{ 1 }$ He was interested in characteristics (phenotypes) such as flower color and seed shape that show different well-defined characteristics. For example, flower color can be red or white. Specifically, he wanted to know how these phenotypes are expressed in offspring when they were different in the two parental plants. Through his breeding experiments he found what are now known as the Mendelian laws. He showed that “factors” (now called genes) determining these characteristics are passed from parents to offspring and do not change from one to the next generation. Also, some of them may be hidden (recessive) behind others (that are $dominant).^{ 2 }$ The two main aspects of the Mendelian laws are segregation of genes through generations, and independent assortment of different genes.
