Mendel's laws of heredity can be used to predict the results of simple genetic crosses. For example, if 2 pea plants that are heterozygous for yellow seed color (Yy) are crossed, there is a 25% chance that their offspring will express the recessive trait for green seed color (yy).
The above example shows how _______ govern simple genetic recombinations.
A.
the laws of probability
B.
the laws of thermodynamics
C.
the laws of natural selection
D.
Newton's laws
