Gregor Mendel was the first person to make connections between parents and children by using math symbols. He made the set of laws which are now known as the three laws of inheritance. This set of laws consists of the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment.
To begin, the first law of inheritance is the Law of Dominance. This law states that genes come in pairs and are inherited in different units called alleles. In a situation with one dominant allele and one recessive allele, the dominant trait will show as it is a carrier and the recessive allele is still there, but not showing. My paternal grandfather was homozygous dominant and my grandmother is homozygous recessive so my father ended up being heterozygous
