characteristics are inherited as units independently of each other; genes (factors) separate (segregate) from one another and later recombine in various ways in germ
cells;

theory of particulate
inheritance, in which
characteristics were determined by discrete units of
inheritance that were passed intact from one generation to the next.

gametes (
sperm).
