Understanding inheritance patterns allows breeders to make informed decisions about matings

Explanation: Mendel's laws let breeders predict probabilities of traits in offspring, improving efficiency and planning. They do not guarantee perfect accuracy or remove all uncertainty, and they are directly useful in practical breeding as well as research.
