Gregоr Mendel identified three principles thаt аre bаsic tо оur understanding of how biological information is passed from generation to generation. Segregation.  Each organism contains two factors for each trait.  In an individual these hereditary factors – genes – remain segregated, that is, separate and distinct. These factors remain separate during the formation of sex cells and so only one of the two will be passed on to offspring. Dominance.  Of the various possible factors or genes for a particular characteristic, one may be stronger than another.  When the two exist together in an individual, the dominant or stronger one overpowers or hides the effect of the weaker or recessive one. Independent assortment.  In the process of making sex cells, members of one pair of factors separate or assort independently of members of another pair of factors. The chance of getting a gene for one characteristic does not affect the chances of getting a gene for a different characteristic, so all possible combinations of factors can occur. Many human traits are controlled by more than one gene, and so do not lend themselves to simple analysis.  But Mendel's three principles for the most part still hold.  Let's assume there is only one gene that controls hair color and one gene that controls eye color (in reality, we know there are many).  Given our assumption, match the principle to the scenario that best refelcts it.
