Hope it helps!!
ndependent assortment is a basic principle of genetics developed by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1860s. Mendel formulated this principle after discovering another principle known as Mendel's law of segregation, both of which govern heredity.
The law of independent assortment states that the alleles for a trait separate when gametes are formed. These allele pairs are then randomly united at fertilization. Mendel arrived at this conclusion by performing monohybrid crosses. These cross-pollination experiments were performed with pea plants that differed in one trait, such as the color of the pod.
Mendel began to wonder what would happen if he studied plants that were different with respect to two traits. Would both traits be transmitted to the offspring together or would one trait be transmitted independently of the other? It is from these questions and Mendel's experiments that he developed the law of independent assortment.
