The Law of Independent Assortment

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Mendel's law of independent assortment holds that alleles at one locus sort into gametes independently of alleles at another, on different chromosomes or far apart on one.

Show

A dihybrid YyRr plant produces YR, Yr, yR, and yr gametes, color sorting independently of texture.

Watch for

This law holds on different chromosomes or far apart on one — Bio 1067 covers loci close together instead.
