| Law of Independent Assortment | states that each set of allele pairs randomly separate during meiosis, leading to new genetic combinations. |
| Law of Dominance | states that some alleles are dominant while others are recessive |
| Recombination | new genetic combination created during crossing over |
| Crossing over | exchange of genetic materials during Prophase I of meiosis, also known as chiasmata. |
