The that the of a tied one, Segregation of the of a pair of alleles is of the of during, Explanation: The results of Fy show that in to the combinations of, characters (yellow and round and wrinkled) fwo combinations- and, Law of It states that, in or of, Cytology, and Disesses, wrinkled and green and seeds, were also new combinations are called, character is an unit is to combine with any other On of these, Mel, character of a parent freely combines with another character of the other parent. It can be said One, character is an independent unit and is free to combine with any other character. On the basis fch, findings. Mendel gave his third law, the Law of Independent Assortment., Explanation: The results of Fy generation show that in additon to the parental combiea, 3., characters (or their factors) in the gametes and next generation is independent of each ofher, ubrid or polyhybrid crosses, the distribution, Law of Independent Assortment: It states that, in dihy, or, Inheritance of each character occurs independently., or, Law of independent assortment does not contradict law of segregation. In the F2 generation vello, and green seed characters appeared in the ratio of 3: 1 (12: 4) and similarly round and wrinkled, characters appeared in the ratio of 3: 1 (12 : 4)., Segregation of the menhbers of a pair of alleles is independent of the segregation of other pairs duri, gamete formation and inheritance., The law states that 'segregation of the members of a pair of alleles is independent of the, segregation of other pair and therefore inheritance of each character occurs independently'., 2. Law of Independent Assortment, The law can be explained by taking an example. If a grey-bodied, long-winged Drosophila is crossed with a, black-bodied, vestigeal-winged fly, the F, generation hybrids inherit grey body and long wing traits, (both traits and dominant). Now a male F, hybrid is test crossed with the double recessive female fly (black, body, vestigeal wings). On the basis of the law of independent assortment, the F, generation is expected, to contain- grey, long; grey, vestigeal; black, long and black, vestigeal winged offsprings in equal, number or 1:1:1:1 ratio as shown in Fig, 4., However, instead of four types, only two types of offsprings having parental character combinations (Grey, body, long wings and black body, vestigeal wings) were produced in the F, generation. The resuns s, that inheritance of these characters do not follow law of independent assortment. In fact this happens be, of linkage.
