Expert Solution

The law of independent was deduced from Mendel's experiment with dihybrid cross. This law states that assortment of genes of one pair is independent of the other pair at the time of gametogenesis i.e., each pair of contrasting character behaves independently and bears no association with a particular character.

Because of such an independent assortment of characters, new combination of characters are produced in the offspring that is besides the parenteral types, recombinants are also produced.

The feature of cell cycle that contributes to this phenomenon is homologous chromosomes synapse during meiosis and are randomly distributed to daughter cells, and different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes

12.25 Mendel formulated the law of independent assortment as his second law of inheritance. It involves two genes independently segregated during reproduction, each independently determining one aspect of the phenotype. In one experiment, Mendel crossed pea plants producing yellow, round seeds with pea plants producing green, wrinkled seeds. The first generation resulted in only plants producing yellow, round seeds. Self-crossing of the F1 yielded the following phenotypes in F2: Assuming two independent genes, each with a dominant and a recessive...
