Solution

Mendel's First Law:

  1. Mendel's first law is also called as law of dominance.
  2. The law of dominance states that when a dominant and recessive allele pair up in one trait, only the dominant trait shows in phenotype.
  3. It uses a monohybrid cross that involves only one trait with two phenotypes.
  4. Punnett Square is for predicting possible offspring of crosses between different genotypes.
  5. Example: Yellow seeds of the pea plant are represented as g and green seeds are represented as G.
