Principle of Independent Assortment The law of independent assortment states that in a cross between parents with two or more contrasting characters the segregation of one pair of contrasting trait is independent of the other pair of such traits. The two characters are transmitted independently. As in the dihybrid cross of Mendel the presence of new combinations, i.e. round-green and winkled-yellow suggests that the genes for shape of seed and colour of seed are assorted independently.
