What are Mendel’s laws of inheritance and Mendelian dominance? Define the terms dominant and recessive and explain the two inheritance laws.

Mendel's law of
inheritance describes what happens when the male and female genotypes
combine and form a gamete.  The alleles of a given trait pair up and separate from other
traits.  One allele from each member combine and form a pair.  The phenotype of the
trait is determined by the type of allele combination.

An
allele can either be dominant or recessive.  A dominant
allele will express itself.  A recessive allele will be
suppressed by a dominant allele.

An allelic pair can be
homozygotic or heterozygotic.  A homozygotic allelic pair is made up of either 2
dominant alleles or 2 recessive alleles.  A heterozygotic allelic pair is made up of 1
dominant allele and 1 recessive allele.

For example,
suppose F represents a given trait.  Each gamate provides a genotype of trait F. 
Capital letters stand for dominant alleles and lower case letters stand for recessive
alleles.  Therefore, according to Mendel's law of inheritance, the possible
genotype combinations for this trait are:

FF - both
dominant, trait is expressed

Ff - one dominant, one
recessive, trait is expressed

fF - one dominant, one
recessive, trait is expressed

ff - both recessive, trait is
suppressed

According to this pattern, a dominant trait will
be expressed 3 times as often as a recessive trait.  The combination of genotypes is
random.
