4 different gametes are produced every time meiosis occurs. This is our way to pass on our genes to our offspring. Note- eventually, everything would become very similar. Mendel rejected Blending Hyp. Factors separate during formation of gametes.
Gametes fuse randomly and new organisms contain one factor from each parent.
Now, we call these alleles. One allele from one parent joins with one allele from the other parent to produce the offspring. Each gene- one letter. Determine the genotypes of the parents. Determine genotypes of gametes of each parent 3.
