Principle of independent assortment
Gregor Mendel's second principle of genetic inheritance. It states that different pairs of genes are passed to offspring independently so that new combinations of genes, present in neither parent, are possible. In other words, the distribution of one pair of alleles does not influence the distribution of another pair. The genes controlling different traits are inherited independently of one another.
