It states :
“hereditary characters are determined by some particulate factors,
these factors occur in pairs and at the time of gamete formation
segregate at random so that only one member of a gene pair is
transmitted to a particular gamete”

e.g. a gene for black fur may b dominant in one species but recessive in another
Like in guinea pigs black fur is dominant but in sheep it is recessive
MISCONCEPTIONS TO BE AVOIDED
e.g. Curly hair people are few in population despite of this trait being dominant or
incomplete dominant
Frequency of blue eyed people in Scandinavia is more than brown eyed people
MISCONCEPTIONS TO BE AVOIDED
Some traits being admired a lot in humans are not due to dominant genes
Infact some traits like extra fingers or toes,A form of muscular dystrophy, a type of
dwarfism are not recessive but dominant controlled genes
