Answer:
Mendel performed an experiments in which he took a tall plant with round seeds and a short plant with wrinkled-seeds. ... Thus, Mendel's experiments show that the tall/short trait and the round seed/wrinkled seed trait are independently inherited.
Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other. Mendel observed that, when peas with more than one trait were crossed, the progeny did not always match the parents. This is because different traits are inherited independently – this is the principle of independent assortment.

Answer:
Mendel followed the inheritance of 7 traits in pea plants, and each trait had 2 forms. He identified pure-breeding pea plants that consistently showed 1 form of a trait after generations of self-pollination. ... Mendel then crossed these pure-breeding lines of plants and recorded the traits of the hybrid progeny.
