What is Mendel's Law of Segregation?

Each organism carries two alleles for each trait, and these alleles separate during gamete formation so that each gamete carries only one allele.

What phenotypic ratio is expected in the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross between two heterozygotes (Aa × Aa)?

3:1 — three dominant phenotype individuals to one recessive phenotype individual.

What is the genotypic ratio produced by a testcross of a heterozygous dominant individual (Aa) with a homozygous recessive individual (aa)?

1:1 — half the offspring are Aa (heterozygous) and half are aa (homozygous recessive).

What does Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment state?

Alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation, provided the genes are on different chromosomes.

In incomplete dominance, what phenotype appears in F1 heterozygotes of a cross between a red-flowered plant (RR) and a white-flowered plant (rr)?

Pink flowers — the heterozygote (Rr) shows an intermediate phenotype rather than one allele being completely dominant.
