Under which conditions does the law of independent assortment hold good and why?

Explanation

(i)Mendel's law of independent assortment holds good for genes situated o the Non homologous chromosomes.
(ii)The law of independent assortment holds true as long as two different genes are on separate chromosome,the two alleles of one gene (A and a) will segregate into gametes independently of the two alleles of the other gene (B and b).
(iii)Equal numbers of four different gametes will form AB,aB,Ab,aB. But if the two genes are on the same chromosome ,then they will be linked and will segregate together during meiosis,producing only two kinds of gametes.
