2. Mendel's law of independent assortment may not be applicable on which of the following contrasting pair of traits?
A. Seed shape and stem length B. Stem length and pod shape C. Pod color and pod shape D. Seed color and seed shape​

Answer 1

Gregor Mendel's law of independent assortment states that when genes are inherited, they are inherited independent of each other. Linked genes are exceptions to the law of independent assortment because two genes are located on the same chromosome, but this is generally mitigated when chromosomes cross over.
