Explanation of law of independent assortment -
Gametes have gene R and r, and they also have alleles Y and y, the segregation of 50% of R and 50% of r is independent from segregation of 50% Y and 50% of y
- wherein
Thus, there are 4 genotypes of gametes, RY, Ry , rY and ry each with frequency 25% of the total gametes produced.
