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?

According to the Law of Segregation, each gamete receives one allele for each gene from each parent. During Meiosis, each parent’s two copies of each allele are separated from each other, then the gamete receives one copy of each allele from each parent (for a total of two alleles).
