Study Notes

Mendel's Study and the Law of Independent Assortment

Mendel studied the inheritance of two different traits, each with two alleles, to formulate the Law of Independent Assortment.
During fertilization, allele pairs assort independently, resulting in a random combination of alleles from each parent.

Characteristics of the Law of Independent Assortment

The Law of Independent Assortment results in a phenotypic ratio of 9:3:3:1.
This law results in 16 different genotypes.

Physical Basis and Formulation

The physical basis for the Law of Independent Assortment is the random orientation of chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis.
Mendel formulated the Law of Independent Assortment after discovering the Law of Segregation.

Key Principles

The Law of Independent Assortment states that allele pairs assort independently during fertilization, resulting in a random combination of alleles.
Mendel performed a dihybrid cross experiment, crossing two pea plants with different traits, to study the Law of Independent Assortment.
