=== Mendel's laws ===
Since Mendel used experimental methods to devise his particulate inheritance theory, he developed three basic laws of inheritance: the [[Law of Segregation]], the [[Law of Independent Assortment]], and the [[Law of Dominance]]:<ref name=bioed/>
Line 27:
==== Law of independent assortment ====
The law states that when the parents differ from each other in two or more pairs of contrasting characters, the inheritance of one pair of characters is independent to that of the other pair of characters.
==== Law of dominance ====
