|
Term
|
Definition

| Law of Independent Assortment |
|
Definition
| States that during gamete formation in a F2 cross, a particular allele for one character can be paired with either allele for another character |

|
Term
| Mendel's principle of segregation |
|
Definition
| The two alleles for a character segregate (separate) during the formation of gametes (sex cells), so that each gamete carries only one on allele for each character. |
