Exploring the role of Punnett Squares and pedigrees in genetics, this overview highlights Gregor Mendel's revolutionary contributions. Mendel's laws of inheritance, including the Law of Dominance, Segregation, and Independent Assortment, provide a framework for understanding genetic traits. While Mendelian traits follow his laws, complex inheritance patterns such as incomplete dominance and polygenic traits reveal the intricacies of heredity.
