The scenario you provided illustrates the Law of Independent Assortment. This principle states that the alleles for different traits are inherited independently of each other, which means the inheritance of one trait (such as freckles) does not influence the inheritance of another trait (such as attached earlobes).
In human genetics, the allele for having freckles is inherited apart from the allele for having attached earlobes. Which one of Mendel's principles does this illustrate?
