Question

how do mendel's experiments show that traits are inherited independently​

Answer 1

dihybrid cross performed by Mendel to show that traits inherited independently. In this experiment he had taken two traits 1st shape of seed and 2nd colour of seed the parent were homozygous dominant (RRYY) round and yellow and homozygous ressesiv (rryy) wrinkeled and green . In first generation the progeny was round and yellow (RrYy) but in 2nd generation some new combinations were found like round and green and wrinkle and yellow. This shows that traits inherited independently.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\red{Answer}$✨✨

Mendel performed an experiments in which he took a tall plant with round seeds and a short plant with wrinkled-seeds. In F1, They were all tall and had round seeds. Tallness and round seeds were thus dominant traits. When, he used these F1 progeny to generate F2 progeny by self-pollination, he found that some F2 progeny were tall plants with round seeds, and some were short plants with wrinkled seeds. At the same time there tall plants, but had wrinkled seeds, while others were short, but had round seeds. Thus, Mendel’s experiments show that the tall/short trait and the round seed/wrinkled seed trait are independently inherited.
