Answer:

The Law of Dominance states that the dominant allele completely masks the presence of a recessive allele. The law of segregation states that the two alleles for each trait separate during the formation of gametes and that during the formation of new zygotes, the alleles will combine at random with other alleles. A parent gives only one allele to make a gene. The law of independent assortment says that the allele that a gene receives first has no bearing on the allele it will receive second.
