Discuss how studies using identical twins may help determine how much of a phenotype is based on genetics and how much is environmental.

What is a dominant allele?

The allele that exerts its phenotypic effect in the heterozygote; it masks the expression of the recessive allele.

summarize Mendel's laws of segregation and law of independent assortment

The law of segregation states that each individual has two factors for each trait and these factors separate during gamete formation such that each gamete contains only one factor. At fertilization, the zygote receives two factors for each trait. The law of independent assortment states that during gamete formation, each pair of factors separates independently of other factors and that all possible combinations of factors can occur

What is the law of independent assortment?

The mendelian principle explains how combinations of traits appear in gametes; see also independent assortment.
