The principle of independent assortment refers to the situation whereby the inheritance of one trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait. Traits are usually passed from one generation to anther through the genes.

∙ 14y agoThis is deemed "simple inheritance," or "Mendelian genetics" following Gregor Mendel's crossbreeding of pea plants. The common ratios associated with Mendelian genetics include 4:0 (RRxRR, RRxrr, RRxRr or rrxrr), 3:1 (RrxRr), and 1:1 (Rrxrr).
The opposite of simple inheritance is polygenic inheritance, in which one gene can affect multiple traits. One common example of polygenetics is eye color.

∙ 12y agoThe answer depends on what level of genetics you're talking about. In standard Mendelian genetics, genes segregate independently and the inheritance of one gene has no effect on the inheritance of another gene. In real life, certain genes have loci (locations on a chromosome) that are so close together that they are usually inherited together. This is called gene linkage.
