This article explains how the law of segregation defines genetic inheritance and how it can be broken through various genetic scenarios, rare exceptions, and mutations. It also explores how scientists are challenging the law of segregation through gene editing techniques.
The Law of Segregation: Understanding Genetics and Inheritance
This article explores the Law of Segregation, one of the fundamental principles of genetics, first discovered by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century. The article covers everything from the basics of genetic inheritance to more complex concepts like heritability and the relationship between genetic and environmental factors. Additionally, it discusses the impact of Mendel’s discovery on modern genetics research, and how scientists continue to build upon his work today.
