What is the tallness trait of a pea plant moving separately from the color trait an example of?
This is an instance of Mendel's second law, the Law of Independent Assortment, which describes that the appearance of one trait will not affect the appearance of another. Current understanding of genetic inheritance, though, has shown that this is not always the case due to two genes, which are located close to each other on the similar chromosome, will most likely be inherited together.
