The Main Principles of Heredity: Mendel’s First Law

Adam shares his experience of discovering pea plants in his grandpa's garden, leading him to learn about Gregor Mendel's pioneering experiments on pea plants. Mendel's work revealed the concepts of dominant and recessive traits, and his law of segregation explained how traits are inherited across generations. The video encourages viewers to explore Mendel's work further.
