Final answer:

Mendel's work with alleles showed how dominant and recessive traits are inherited and the concept of independent assortment during meiosis.


Explanation:

Alleles are different versions of a gene, and they can be dominant or recessive. Mendel's experiments showed that traits are inherited in pairs of alleles, where dominant alleles mask recessive ones. Understanding that genes segregate independently during meiosis was a key concept introduced by Mendel.
