Question

Explain how corn can be used as an example of Mendel's law of independent assortment

Answer 1

Answer: Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the genes are separated and inherited independently of each other into the gametes. The corn can be used to study the law if independent assortment as each kernel of the corn is its fruit. Thus, it is a result of sexual reproduction.

Answer 2

Include something along these lines and you'll get it right:

Each kernel of corn inherits traits independently.

Each kernel of corn receives one allele from each parent for the traits of color and texture.

Corn can have multiple kernel colors because each kernel is independently formed.
