How does Mendel prove that a trait are independent assortment

1.	How does Mendel prove that a trait are independent assortment
Answer» Mendel crossed pea plants having round green seeds (RRyy) with pea plants having wrinkled yellow seeds (rrYY).An example of dihybrid crossesSince the F1plants are formed after crossing pea plants having green round seeds and pea plants having yellow wrinkled seeds, F1generation will have both these characters in them. However, as we know that yellow seed colour and round seeds are dominant characters, therefore, the F1plants will have yellow round seeds.Then this F1progeny was self-pollinated and the F2progeny was found to have yellow round seeds, green round seeds, yellow wrinkled seeds, and green wrinkled seeds in the ratio of 9:3:3:1.Independent inheritance of two different traitsIn the above cross, more than two factors are involved, and these are independently inherited.
