|
Just because you get one allele for one gene, doesn’t mean you’ll get another allele for another gene. The genes are unlinked.
|
|
|
All genes come together regardless of where they are or what chromosome they are on.
|
|
|
All alleles are the same for the same species.
|
|
|
Gametes are guaranteed to get specific alleles on on every single chromosome.

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: -Mendel’s law of independent assortment does not apply to linkage. Inherited genes are said to be independent of one another under the law. Since two genes are located on the same chromosome, the linkage is an exception to this rule. Thus the independent assortment is violated by linkage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mendel’s law of inheritance are as follows: Law of segregation: During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. Law of independent assortment: Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.
