This law is called Mendel's second law, or the Law of Independent Assortment. 

The law is derived from observations of dihybrid crosses. A classic example involves seed shape and color in garden peas. The shape may be round (caused by a dominant allele, denoted by R) or wrinkled (recessive, r). The wrinkling is caused by a mutation preventing the formation of branches in starch molecules. The color of the seeds may be yellow (dominant, Y) or green (recessive, y). The green color results from a variant sequence in a gene; the seeds fail to develop normally. 

Parentals are RRYY and rryy. 

The F1 plants are RrYy. 

The F2 plants show independent segregation of the alleles for the two characteristics, shape and color. A Punnett grid predicts a 9:3:3:1 ratio for the phenotypes round yellow, round green, wrinkled yellow, and wrinkled green.

<h2>Energy </h2>

Explanation:

Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem

  • The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
  • Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
  • The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
  • Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
  • Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
  • So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
  • Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
