When a pea plant of round green (RRyy) seeds is crossed with a pea plant having wrinkled yellow seeds (rrYY), plants in F 1 progeny have round and . yellow seeds. Hqwever in F2 generation, all traits appear independently. In F2, he got the following result ( called dihybrid ratio):
Round yellow-9
Round Green-3
Wrinkled yellow-3
Wrinkled Gree-1
He conclued alleles controlling different traits are not linked and are inherited
