Mendel’s laws of inheritance describe how traits are passed from parents to offspring. The law of segregation states that alleles (alternate forms of a gene) segregate randomly during gamete formation, with each gamete receiving one allele from each parent. The law of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation, leading to the inheritance of traits independently of each other. These laws form the basis of classical genetics and provide insights into patterns of inheritance observed in offspring.
