Answer:
‘Independent assortment’ of genes does not take place when genes are ‘linked and located’ on the same chromosome.
Explanation:
The law of ‘independent assortment’ as stated by Mendel says that alleles of two different genes get sorted into gametes independently of ‘one another’. It means that genes get assorted independently without affecting one another. But this cannot happen when genes coding for different characters are linked and are located on the ‘same chromosome’.
