Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Gregor Johann Mendel defines the law of dominance. According to this law, the cross of parents that contain contrasting traits, only one of the trait (dominant trait) will expressed in the next generation (offspring). The offspring will receive the hybrid trait (heterozygous) that contributes in the expression of dominant trait.
