Law of Independent Assortment

• • It states that each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation.
• • Mendel developed the law of independent assortment using

  dihybrid cross.
• • This law applies only to genes on different, non - homologous chromosomes.
• • In this example, the inheritance of gene for pea color is not affected by the gene for pea shape.
