a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype of the smooth yellow parent.

Introduction: The law of independent assortment is the third law of Mendelian genetics. It was given by performing a dihybrid cross which is the cross between the alleles of two pairs of contrasting characters. The alleles produced by each character are independent to combine with the alleles of the other character. This independent sorting of the alleles irrespective of the dominant or the recessive trait is defined as the law of independent assortment.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The genotype of the four classes of offsprings formed in the cross.

Introduction: The alleles produced by each character in a dihybrid cross are independent to combine with each other’s phenotypic character. This independent sorting of the alleles irrespective of the dominant or the recessive trait is defined as the law of independent assortment.
