Mendel's finding that plant height was inherited independently of the type or color of the seed coat demonstrated the law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of different genes segregate independently of each other during meiosis. This applies to genes located on different chromosomes or genes that are far apart on the same chromosome. Gene linkage refers to the tendency of genes located close together on the same chromosome to be inherited together, which is not the case for plant height and seed coat color/type in Mendel's pea plants. The finding is not limited to simple organisms, but applies to all sexually reproducing organisms.
