-
A law or rule governing the inheritance of characters in plants and animals discovered by Gregor Mendel. This principle deals with the inheritance of "unit characters," the presence or absence of one or other of a pair of contrasting characters. It also shows that the offspring of organisms with a pair of contrasting characters will be produced in a definite ratio. From this law we are able to get a more correct and scientific definition of "purity of a breed."It may be extended to deal with groups of characters.
