Mendel’s 2nd law, which states that factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of one another is called the law of:
A
Judge Dredd
B
independent assortment
C
segregation
D
domination
Explanation: 

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: -Law of Independent Assortment The results of Mendel’s second set of experiments led to his second law. This is the law of independent assortment. It states that factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel’s Law of Segregation states individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment states the inheritance of one pair of factors ( genes ) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair.

Detailed explanation-4: -Based on this observation, he developed his third law – Law of Independent Assortment. The dihybrid crosses between the parental genotype RRYY (round yellow seeds) and rryy (green wrinkled seeds) explains the law.
