Detailed explanation-1: -Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1865, Mendel presented the results of his experiments with nearly 30, 000 pea plants to the local Natural History Society. He demonstrated that traits are transmitted faithfully from parents to offspring independently of other traits and in dominant and recessive patterns.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other. Mendel observed that, when peas with more than one trait were crossed, the progeny did not always match the parents. This is because different traits are inherited independently – this is the principle of independent assortment.
