Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel’s laws include the Law of Dominance and Uniformity, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment.

Detailed explanation-2: -The F2 generation always produced a 3:1 ratio where the dominant trait is present three times as often as the recessive trait. Mendel coined two terms to describe the relationship of the two phenotypes based on the F1 and F2 phenotypes. The hereditary determinants are of a particulate nature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel’s law of dominance states that: “When parents with pure, contrasting traits are crossed together, only one form of trait appears in the next generation. The hybrid offsprings will exhibit only the dominant trait in the phenotype.” Law of dominance is known as the first law of inheritance.
