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: -Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that genes do not influence each other with regard to the sorting of alleles into gametes: every possible combination of alleles for every gene is equally likely to occur.
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.
