This passage summarizes key concepts from Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants including: 1) Mendel demonstrated the principles of dominance, segregation, and independent assortment by conducting a series of crosses between pea plants with different traits. 2) His work showed that genes for different traits segregate independently during the formation of gametes, resulting in genetic variations not seen in the parents. 3) While Mendel's principles apply broadly, genetics is more complex with some traits controlled by multiple genes or alleles demonstrating incomplete dominance or codominance.

3. Does the segregation of 1 pair of alleles affect the segregation of another pair of alleles?
