What is Mendel's law of independent assortment?

its that genes are located on different chromasones (i cant spell but i kno what im talking about)

Mendel was lucky that when he studied plants, all the genes that he studied were on different chromasones, and thus having one gene did not affect having another gene

this law does not always apply because if you have 2 genes that are located on the same chromasone,

ex having E and R might be common so having E on one gene would make the likeleness of having R on the other one more

ok, this is how i would put it in child terms...

Everything has a specific trait
So, if you find a pea pod(green of course) then that means it's color is a specific trait.
If you have a Yellow bean, then it's trait is yellow.
Thus, putting the bean in the pod means you will grow all yellow beans, and the pod will stay green.
The law basically states that everything that has a trait, will always have that independent trait(like colors)

But, there are many more independent traits other than colors.
For example, if your mom has short hair, and your dad has long, you could have inheirited either from them.
Or, if they both have short, then odds would be that you have short hair too.
And Vice-Versa

No, what Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states (in high school Biology terms) that each trait that you have, could have come from your mother or your father.  Just because you got one trait from your mother does not always mean you would get another trait from your mother.
