text: • The Law of Segregation: The two members of a gene pair (alleles) segregate (separate) from each other in the formation of gametes. Half the gametes carry one allele, and the other half carry the other allele.\n\n• The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits assort independently of one another in the formation of gametes.\n\nAfter research of first two laws scientists came up with: Some alleles are incompletely dominant, that some genes are sex-linked, and that some pairs of genes do not assort independently because they are physically linked on a chromosome.
