Question
CBSEENBI12000210

Write the various conclusions and hereditary principles drawn by Mendel from a monohybrid cross.

Solution
Conclusions and hereditary principles derived from monohybrid cross are-:

1. Principle of paired factors. 

2. Law of dominance. In a heterozygous individual only one allele is able to express its effect called dominant while the other remains hidden and is  termed recessive.

3. Principle of purity of gametes. A gamete receives only one of the two

4. Principle of segregation. The two factors of a character keep their identity in an individual and do not blend. They segregate (separate) during gamete formation and are passed on to the offspring randomly after fertilization.
