Inheritance
Dihybrid inheritance involves the inheritance of two characteristics where each characteristic is controlled by a different gene. The dihybrid inheritance experiment on pea plants involves the colour and shape of the seeds.
Ratio of F2 phenotype
9 round, yellow seed : 3 round, green seed : 3 constricted, yellow seed : 1 constricted, green seed

Mendel's Second Law , also called Law of Independent Assortment states that each allele from a pair of alleles can combine randomly with any allele from another pair during the formation gametes.
