This law states that “the genes for 2 or more different traits are distributed independently and the distribution is independent of the other traits. In other words each pair of different characters in hybrid union is inherited independently of the other differences in the original parental stocks.
When 2 or more pairs of alleles are studied, each allele acts independent of the other crossing. Factors or genes expressing different characters exhibit independent assortment and shuffling without being influenced by other factors.
