These are Mendel's rules and laws:
1. Rule of Unit Factors - A trait is controlled by two factors, one from each parent. These factors don't blend, but stay separate in the individual and can be passed on to the offspring.
2. Rule of Dominance - A heterozygous individual will show the dominant phenotype; the recessive phenotype will be hidden.
3. Law of Segregation - When gametes are formed, the alleles for a trait separate and go into different gametes.
4. Law of Independent Assortment - When gametes are formed, the way one pair of alleles separates does not affect the way another pair of alleles separates.

For sexual creatures, each off-spring gets a full set of genes for every trait from each parent, then it will show a combination or mixture choosing from each pair of triats. The off-spring has some of each parents' traits. That is the basics, how the pairs are chosen and which ones are the ones that will show up is an entire field of study. We are still working on that one.

They follow Murphy's law more often than not.
