The second Mendelian Law is the Law of Segregation. It states that in a cross the parental traits do not merge in the first offspring generation (ie. the recessive, "weaker" trait does not disappear for good) but instead appear unchanged in the second offspring generation.
For example, if you cross homozygous dwarf pea plants to homozygous tall, all members of the first offspring generation will be tall. This makes it seem as if the dwarf trait disappears, but it does not. If you inbreed the first offspring generation, you get 25% dwarf plants in the second offspring generation. So the "lost" trait reappears.
Mendel's first law answers the question "Are characters discrete or random?" and his second law answers "Does one trait's inheritance influence another's?"
Mendel's second law - the law of Independent assortment.
Mendel discovered two laws of heredity. The law of segregation and the law of independent assortment.

Gregor Mendel did his work that led to the Law of Segregation and the Law of Independent Assortment between 1856 and 1863.
His name was Gregor Mendel, not Gregory. Yes. He developed several laws of heredity, which we call Mendel's laws. They are the law of dominance, law of segregation, and law of independent assortment.
Gene linkage us considered an exception to Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.
His name was not Mendel Gregor, but his name was actually Gregor Mendel. He invented a law of heredity and genetics known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity. Do YOU like me?
