Give the basic features of the mechanism of inheritance
The basic features of the mechanism of inheritance are: Characters are controlled by genes. Genes are present on the chromosomes. Each gene controls one character. There may be two or more forms of the same gene. One form of the gene may be dominant over the other. Two forms of the gene whether similar or dissimilar are present in an individual. The two forms of the gene separate at the time of gamete formation. The two forms of the gene are brought together in the zygote.
