Gregor mendel was an austrian monk who lived in the 1800s. mendel is known as the "father of modern genetics" as a result of discovering two important laws - the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment. according to mendel's law of segregation, different alleles are separated into different gametes, or sex cells. according to the mendel's law of independent assortment

The separation of one trait does not influence the separation of another trait.

Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of the same trait. For example, brown alleles, green alleles, and blue alleles are different versions of the eye color trait.

All sexually-reproducing organisms possess two alleles for each trait. These alleles may or may not be the same (e.g., an organism may have one allele for brown eyes and one allele for blue eyes, or it may have two alleles for green eyes, etc.).

Gametes, or sex cells (egg cells and sperm cells), are formed during meiosis—a two-step process that only occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms. During meiosis, according to the law of segregation, chromatids that carry alleles are separated into different gametes. According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the separation of the alleles of one trait does not influence the separation of the alleles of another trait.
