list the four basic principles of genetics that mendel discovered
Confidence votes 17. Mendel's principles of genetics are; the principle of segregation (only one allele passes from each parent), the principle of dominance (some alleles are dominant and others are recessive). I think there's only two, I am not sure though.
Mendel instead believed that heredity is the result of discrete units of inheritance, and every single unit (or gene) was independent in its actions in an individualâs genome. According to this Mendelian concept, inheritance of a trait depends on the passing-on of these units.
