Elaborate on Mendel s Law of Independent Assort... - SS3 Biology Genetics Question

Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that the alleles of different genes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation. This means that the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another unrelated trait. As a result, it leads to the generation of various combinations of alleles, increasing genetic diversity in the offspring. This law is fundamental in understanding the inheritance of multiple traits simultaneously and predicting the probability of certain traits appearing together in the offspring.
