Mendel’s Laws
• Law of Segregation:
each gamete (sex cell)
only receives one
copy.
• Law of Independent
Assortment: separate
genes for separate
traits are passed
independently of one
another from parents
to offspring

You get one set
of traits from
your mother and
the same set of
traits from your
father.
Traits will not
affect each other.
If one parent is
weaker, their trait
will not be
affected by the
stronger parent.
