Although they were not completely unknown to biologists of the time, they were not seen as generally applicable, even by Mendel himself, who thought they only applied to certain categories of species or traits. A major roadblock to understanding their significance was the importance attached by 19th-century biologists to the <a href="/wiki/Blending_inheritance" title="Blending inheritance">apparent blending</a> of <a href="/wiki/Complex_traits" title="Complex traits">many inherited traits</a> in the overall appearance of the progeny,<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

The exact nature of the "re-discovery" has been debated: De Vries published first on the subject, mentioning Mendel in a footnote, while Correns pointed out Mendel's priority after having read De Vries' paper and realizing that he himself did not have priority. De Vries may not have acknowledged truthfully how much of his knowledge of the laws came from his own work and how much came only after reading Mendel's paper.

Mendel found that there are alternative forms of factors—now called <a href="/wiki/Gene" title="Gene">genes</a>—that account for variations in inherited characteristics. For example, the gene for flower color in pea plants exists in two forms, one for purple and the other for white. The alternative "forms" are now called <a href="/wiki/Allele" title="Allele">alleles</a>. For each trait, an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent. These alleles may be the same or different. An organism that has two identical alleles for a gene is said to be <a href="/wiki/Homozygous" class="mw-redirect" title="Homozygous">homozygous</a> for that gene (and is called a homozygote). An organism that has two different alleles for a gene is said to be <a href="/wiki/Heterozygous" class="mw-redirect" title="Heterozygous">heterozygous</a> for that gene (and is called a heterozygote). </p><p>Mendel hypothesized that allele pairs separate randomly, or segregate, from each other during the production of the <a href="/wiki/Gametes" class="mw-redirect" title="Gametes">gametes</a> in the seed plant (<a href="/wiki/Egg_cell" title="Egg cell">egg cell</a>) and the pollen plant (<a href="/wiki/Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a>). Because allele pairs separate during gamete production, a <a href="/wiki/Sperm" title="Sperm">sperm</a> or <a href="/wiki/Egg" title="Egg">egg</a> carries only one allele for each inherited trait. When sperm and egg unite at <a href="/wiki/Fertilization" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertilization">fertilization</a>, each contributes its allele, restoring the paired condition in the offspring. Mendel also found that each pair of alleles segregates independently of the other pairs of alleles during gamete formation. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Genotype" title="Genotype">genotype</a> of an individual is made up of the many alleles it possesses. The <a href="/wiki/Phenotype" title="Phenotype">phenotype</a> is the result of the <a href="/wiki/Genetic_expression" class="mw-redirect" title="Genetic expression">expression</a> of all characteristics that are genetically determined by its alleles as well as by its environment. The presence of an allele does not mean that the trait will be expressed in the individual that possesses it. If the two alleles of an inherited pair differ (the heterozygous condition), then one determines the organism's appearance and is called the <a href="/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)" title="Dominance (genetics)">dominant allele</a>;

The offspring in the F<sub>2</sub>-generation differ in genotype and phenotype so that the characteristics of the grandparents (P-generation) regularly occur again. In a dominant-recessive inheritance, an average of 25% are homozygous with the dominant trait, 50% are heterozygous showing the dominant trait in the phenotype (<a href="/wiki/Genetic_carrier" class="mw-redirect" title="Genetic carrier">genetic carriers</a>), 25% are homozygous with the recessive trait and therefore <a href="/wiki/Gene_expression" title="Gene expression">express</a> the recessive trait in the phenotype. The genotypic ratio is 1: 2 : 1, and the phenotypic ratio is 3: 1. </p><p>In the pea plant example, the capital "B" represents the dominant allele for purple blossom and lowercase "b" represents the recessive allele for white blossom. The <a href="/wiki/Gynoecium" title="Gynoecium">pistil</a> plant and the <a href="/wiki/Pollen" title="Pollen">pollen</a> plant are both F<sub>1</sub>-hybrids with genotype "B b". Each has one allele for purple and one allele for white. In the offspring, in the F<sub>2</sub>-plants in the Punnett-square, three combinations are possible. The genotypic ratio is 1 <i>BB</i> : 2 <i>Bb</i> : 1 <i>bb</i>. But the phenotypic ratio of plants with purple blossoms to those with white blossoms is 3 : 1 due to the dominance of the allele for purple. Plants with homozygous "b b" are white flowered like one of the grandparents in the P-generation. </p><p>In cases of <a href="/wiki/Incomplete_dominance" class="mw-redirect" title="Incomplete dominance">incomplete dominance</a> the same segregation of alleles takes place in the F<sub>2</sub>-generation, but here also the phenotypes show a ratio of 1 : 2 : 1, as the heterozygous are different in phenotype from the homozygous because the <a href="/wiki/Expression_of_genes" class="mw-redirect" title="Expression of genes">genetic expression</a> of one allele compensates the missing expression of the other allele only partially. This results in an intermediate inheritance which was later described by other scientists. </p><p>In some literature sources, the principle of segregation is cited as the "first law". Nevertheless, Mendel did his crossing experiments with heterozygous plants after obtaining these hybrids by crossing two purebred plants, discovering the principle of dominance and uniformity first.<sup id="cite_ref-Neil_A_2003,_page_293-315_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Neil_A_2003,_page_293-315-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Mendelian_Principles_27-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mendelian_Principles-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Molecular proof of segregation of genes was subsequently found through observation of <a href="/wiki/Meiosis" title="Meiosis">meiosis</a> by two scientists independently, the German botanist <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Hertwig" title="Oscar Hertwig">Oscar Hertwig</a> in 1876, and the Belgian zoologist <a href="/wiki/Edouard_Van_Beneden" title="Edouard Van Beneden">Edouard Van Beneden</a> in 1883.

Mendel found support for this law in his dihybrid cross experiments. In his monohybrid crosses, an idealized 3:1 ratio between dominant and recessive phenotypes resulted. In dihybrid crosses, however, he found a 9:3:3:1 ratios.

Along with <a href="/wiki/Chromosomal_crossover" title="Chromosomal crossover">crossing over</a>, independent assortment increases genetic diversity by producing novel genetic combinations. </p><p>There are many deviations from the principle of independent assortment due to <a href="/wiki/Genetic_linkage" title="Genetic linkage">genetic linkage</a>. </p><p>Of the 46 chromosomes in a normal <a href="/wiki/Diploid" class="mw-redirect" title="Diploid">diploid</a> human cell, half are maternally derived (from the mother's <a href="/wiki/Ovum" class="mw-redirect" title="Ovum">egg</a>) and half are paternally derived (from the father's <a href="/wiki/Spermatozoon" title="Spermatozoon">sperm</a>).

During <a href="/wiki/Gametogenesis" title="Gametogenesis">gametogenesis</a> the normal complement of 46 chromosomes needs to be halved to 23 to ensure that the resulting haploid gamete can join with another haploid gamete to produce a diploid organism. </p><p>In independent assortment, the chromosomes that result are randomly sorted from all possible maternal and paternal chromosomes. Because zygotes end up with a mix instead of a pre-defined "set" from either parent, chromosomes are therefore considered assorted independently.
