The laws of inheritance include the laws of segregation (each gamete receives only one copy of each gene from its parent), dominance (in a heterozygote individual, only the dominant allele will influence the phenotype), and independent assortment (inheritance of one gene does not influence inheritance of another gene)

In a dihybrid cross of seed color and seed shape, Y (yellow) is dominant to y (green) and R (rounded) is dominant to r (wrinkled). An individual with genotype YyRr is crossed with an individual with genotype YYRr. The inheritance of the alleles for seed color does not affect inheritance of genes for seed shape. Which law supports this statement?
