Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment by taking a suitable example.

Explanation

a) Independent Assortment, This law states that in the inheritance of two pairs of contrasting characters, the factors of each pair of characters segregate independently of the factors of the other pair of characters. This law was proposed by Mendel based on the result of dihybrid crosses on Pea Plants where seed color and seed shape were studied. Mendel obtained a dihybrid cross for round and yellow seeds and wrinkled and green seeds.
He obtained a dihybrid phenotypic ratio of `9:3::3:1`
