A seed has alleles for color (yellow or green) and shape (round or wrinkled). How did Mendel's law of independent assortment describe how these traits were passed from parents to offspring. Check all that apply. A) Each trait is passed independently of the other. B) Alleles are combined before they are passed to offspring.

Answer:

A) Each trait is passed independently of the other.

Step-by-step:

Mendel formulated three laws according to which the law of independent distribution states that alleles of two different genes are sorted independently in offspring and do not affect each other's expression.

Each trait is transmitted independently of the other.

How are pea plants sorted by shape and color?
According to the laws of genetics and Mendel, genes having an allele of one trait do not affect the inheritance of a gene of another trait and are transmitted to offspring independently of each other.
In the question asked, the shape of the seed, such as round or wrinkled, is inherited by offspring without being affected by the seed color trait, which is yellow and green.

yes? sounds right, but you didn’t ask a question.
