Physical Characteristic and chances of producing Gemetes

According to the Mendel law of independent assortment says that alleles of a trait got separated when gametes are produced and these allele combinations are then randomly connected next generation. That is to be established by Mendel by making monohybrid crossbreeds. According to this law, the heterozygous organism has a 50% probability of generating the gametes with inactive alleles.

Salvatore May · Answer 2

According to the Mendel law of independent assortment states that alleles of a trait are isolated when gametes are formed and these allele pairs are then randomly associated after fertilization. This was proved by Mendel by performing monohybrid crosses. According to this law the hetrozygous organism has 50% chance of producing the gametes with recessive alleles.
