The correct Answer is:
A
The law of independent assortment applies only to factor or genes present on different pairs or distantly on the same chromosome or pairs of homologous chromosomes. The principle or law of independent assortment can be studied by means of dihybrid cross, e.g., between pure breeding pea plants having yellow round seeds (YYRR) and pure breeding pea plants having green wrinkled seeds (yyrr).
