Law of segregation. During gamete formation, the alleles for each gene segregate from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene. Law of independent assortment. Genes for different traits can segregateindependently during the formation of gametes.
The Principle of Independent Assortment describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. Independent assortment of genes and their corresponding traits was first observed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.

According to this law,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀"Factors Of different characters assort ( segregate ) independent of each other during gametogenesis ( gamete formation ) and fuse randomly to form next generation."Explanation : New combinations [ Yellow round and green wrinkled ] were produced only if the factors of yellow and round character separated independent ( without influencing ) of each other. Similarly, the factors of green and wrinkled characters are separated during gamete formation. They are rearranged randomly during fertilization and produce new combinations.
