PRINCIPLES OF INHERITANCE AND VARIATIONS PART-1

Genetics is the discipline of learning how living things pass on characteristics (or traits) and its differences in their cell make-up from one generation to the other like eye-color, nose shape, height and likewise behaviors from their parentage or ancestors
The technique in which traits are passed from one generation to the next-and sometimes skip generations-was first explained by Gregor Mendel. By experimenting with pea plant propagation, Mendel developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits, before anyone discerned that genes existed. Mendel’s insight significantly expanded the understanding of genetic inheritance,and led to the development of new experimental procedures.
