Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equal distribution of each genotype (AaBb, Aabb, aaBb, aabb) among the offspring indicates that the alleles of the two genes (A and B) are sorting independently of one another. This is consistent with Mendel's law of independent assortment, which states that alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation.
