Detailed explanation-1: -What is the law of independent assortment? Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -Also known as Mendel’s second law of inheritance, the law of independent assortment states that a pair of traits segregates independently of another pair during gamete formation. As the individual heredity factors assort independently, different traits get equal opportunity to occur together.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel’s first law describes the separation of the two alleles of each gene during the production of gametes and the equal chance of each gamete to get one allele. On the other hand, Mendel’s second law describes the independent transmission of alleles of one gene from the alleles of another gene into daughter cells.
