The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles for different genes segregate independently during gamete formation, typically applying to genes on different chromosomes.
Law of Independent Assortment states that two or more genes assort independently--that is, each pair of alleles segregates independently of any other pair of alleles--during gamete formation. Only applies to alleles located on different chromosomes or far apart on the chromosome. Requires a dyhibrid cross to determine if two genes assort independently.
