This law is called Mendel's second law, or the Law of Independent Assortment.

The law is derived from observations of dihybrid crosses. A classic example involves seed shape and color in garden peas. The shape may be round (caused by a dominant allele, denoted by R) or wrinkled (recessive, r). The wrinkling is caused by a mutation preventing the formation of branches in starch molecules. The color of the seeds may be yellow (dominant, Y) or green (recessive, y). The green color results from a variant sequence in a gene; the seeds fail to develop normally.

Parentals are RRYY and rryy.

The F1 plants are RrYy.

The F2 plants show independent segregation of the alleles for the two characteristics, shape and color. A Punnett grid predicts a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes round yellow, round green, wrinkled yellow, and wrinkled green.

What are the principles of genetics?

# Sex cell of a plant or animal may contain one factor (allele) for different traits but not both factors needed to express the traits. # Characteristics are inherited independently from other characteristics. # Each inherited characteristic is determined by two heredity factors/genes, one from each parent which determine whether a gene will be dominant or recessive.


What describes the law of assortment?

Factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other
