Law of segregation & law of independent assortment. Purposed germ plasm theory: reproductive organs carry full sets of genetic information and the sperm and egg cell they produce carry the genetic information brought together in the fertilization. Dna was the hereditary molecule and has a component of chromosomes. Identify the first human hereditary condition, an autosomal recessive disorder called alkaptonuria. Reach similar conclusion about the pattern of transmission of hereditary traits in plants that starts the principle of hereditary transmission.
