(genetics) one of two principles of heredity formulated by gregor mendel on the basis of his experiments with plants; the principles were limited and modified by subsequent genetic research.Mendel's law covers the basic understanding of [[inheritance, stating that the [[phenotype of an Organism is dependant on the expression of particular [[alleles for a [[gene. The final Expression will depend on whether these alleles are [[dominant or Recessive, with the end result expressing either the dominant or recessive characteristics, which in turn, are passed on to offspring.
