Mendel conducted a dihybrid cross experiment by breeding pea plants that differed in both seed color (yellow vs. green) and seed shape (round vs. wrinkled). He started with true-breeding plants for each trait and then crossed them to observe the offspring. By analyzing the ratios of the phenotypes in the F2 generation, he determined that seed color and seed shape assort independently, demonstrating that these traits are inherited separately. This experiment laid the foundation for Mendel's laws of inheritance.

He wanted to determine if traits affected each other, and concluded (based on his observations) that they did not.Today we can't be that sure because Mendel had the luck to only observe traits on different chromosomes. But if two genes, which encode for the observed traits, lie on the same chromosome, maybe even in neighbouring regions, they have a higher chance to be passed on to the next generation together.
