Explain how the resulting phenotypic ratios from Mendel's dihybrid cross assisted him in framing his Second Law

What will be an ideal response?


Mendel explained the results of his cross involving two traits by assuming that alleles of one gene pair segregate into gametes independently of the alleles belonging to other gene pairs, resulting in gametes containing all combinations of alleles. This second fundamental principle of genetics is called the principle of independent assortment or Mendel's Second Law.
