Law of independent assortment, an experiment conducted by Mendel in the earliest days of genome research.



Mendel concluded that since inheritable factor for white color was not lost in the F1 generation, then it must have been masked by the presence of the purple color factor. Mendel called the purple flower as dominant trait and white color as recessive trait.
Reply:Purple (P) is dominant to white (p) and since the pea plant is heterozygous for Pp, the dominant gene is expressed and the flowers are purple.
