NEET BIOLOGY

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. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

Detailed explanation-2: -Example of Law of Independent Assortment Two-hybrid rabbits are crossed. Both the rabbits have a genotype BbGg. Before breeding each rabbit produced gametes. During this, the alleles are separated and the copy of each chromosome is assigned to different gamete.

Detailed explanation-3: -These simple changes to the phenotype, or the trait displayed in an organism, can be explained through changes in our genes. Mendel’s laws include the Law of Dominance and Uniformity, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent Assortment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment states that “When alleles of more than one trait are followed together in the cross, the alleles of these traits assort independently to each other during gamete formation”.

Detailed explanation-5: -To exhibit law of independent assortment, two genes should be present distantly on one chromosome or should be present on two different chromosomes only.
