Answered by GPT-4o mini
The statement that the eye color of a person has no correlation with his/her shoe size illustrates the **Law of Independent Assortment**. This law, proposed by Gregor Mendel, indicates that the inheritance of one trait (such as eye color) does not influence the inheritance of another trait (such as shoe size). Therefore, these traits are inherited independently of one another.
