Identifying the Laws of Inheritance

Mendel studied pea plants for particular traits. When observing the results of his experiments, he created two laws of inheritance. How is a scientific law formed?

A scientific law is something that describes a natural phenomenon but does not explain that observation. It is supported by data and experimentation over long periods of time. So for example, one of Mendel's laws, the law of segregation tells us that alleles separate during gamete formation but it does not tell us the how or why.
