To restate this principle using the example above, all alleles assort in the same manner whether they code for body color alone, eye color alone, or both body color and eye color in the same cross.Aesop's Tome is an Heirloom in Rogue Legacy 2 that gives players the ability to understand memory fragments and temporarily deactivate nightmares. The outcome of a dihybrid cross illustrates the third and final principle of inheritance, the principal of independent assortment, which states that the alleles for one gene segregate into gametes independently of the alleles for other genes. In other words, even though alleles of two different genes were involved in this cross, these alleles behaved as if they had segregated independently. This means that the outcomes of body color and eye color traits appear as if they were derived from two parallel monohybrid crosses. The ratio of brown-bodied flies to black-bodied flies is 3:1, and the ratio of red-eyed flies to brown-eyed flies is also 3:1. Why does this ratio of phenotypes occur? To answer this question, it is necessary to consider the proportions of the individual alleles involved in the cross. The red (E) phenotype is dominant to the brown (e) phenotype, so heterozygous flies with the genotype Ee will have red eyes. In this example, there are two different alleles for the eye color gene: the E allele for red eye color, and the e allele for brown eye color. When the individual chromosomes are distributed into gametes, the alleles of the different genes they carry are mixed and matched with respect to one another. Each gamete will receive one copy of each chromosome and one allele for every gene. When chromosome pairs randomly align along the metaphase plate during meiosis I, each member of the chromosome pair contains one allele for every gene. The simple answer to this question is yes. But is it possible to consider how two different genes, each with different allelic forms, are inherited at the same time? For example, can the alleles for the body color gene (brown and black) be mixed and matched in different combinations with the alleles for the eye color gene (red and brown)? The principle of segregation explains how individual alleles are separated among chromosomes. Mendel thus wondered how organisms preserved the "elementen" (or hereditary material) associated with these traits in the intervening generation, when the traits were hidden from view. Indeed, Mendel's experiments revealed that phenotypes could be hidden in one generation, only to reemerge in subsequent generations. One of the central conclusions Mendel reached after studying and breeding multiple generations of pea plants was the idea that " draw from the external resemblances conclusions as to internal nature." Today, scientists use the word " phenotype" to refer to what Mendel termed an organism's "external resemblance," and the word " genotype" to refer to what Mendel termed an organism's "internal nature." Thus, to restate Mendel's conclusion in modern terms, an organism's genotype cannot be inferred by simply observing its phenotype. Mendel's insights greatly expanded scientists' understanding of genetic inheritance, and they also led to the development of new experimental methods. Through his breeding experiments with pea plants, Mendel established three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits before genes were even discovered. Gregor Mendel was the first person to describe the manner in which traits are passed on from one generation to the next (and sometimes skip generations).
