Can you please explain to me the difference and important key points of mendel\'s first and second laws? Thanks

Solution

A parent may have two distinct alleles for a certain gene, each on one copy of a given chromosome. Mendel\'s first law, the law of segregation, states that these two alleles will be separated from each other during meiosis. Specifically, in the second of the two cell divisions of meiosis the two copies of each chromosome will be separated from each other, causing the two distinct alleles located on those chromosomes to segregate from one another.Mendel\'s second law, the law of independent assortment, states that the way an allele pair gets segregated into two daughter cells during the second division of meiosis has no effect on how any other allele pair gets segregated.The traits inherited through one gene will be inherited independently of the traits inherited through another gene because the genes reside on different chromosomes that are independently assorted into daughter cells during meiosis. These are the basic points which differ between the two Mendel\'s laws.
