Answer:
It means one trait does not influence the expression of the other. Example is given in the explanation section.
Explanation:
A trait is the phenotypic characteristics an organism possesses. It is determined and controlled by genes. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of every gene called ALLELE. Each allele of a gene encodes a different trait.
Mendel, in his law of independent assortment stated that the inheritance of a trait encoded by the alleles of one gene does not influence the inheritance of another trait encoded by the alleles of another gene. A trait is said to be independent of another if it doesn't influence the expression of the other trait.
An example is the seed colour and seed shape trait in a plant. The seed colour trait is encoded by a certain gene and its expression and inheritance is independent of the seed shape trait encoded by another gene.

The trends that shows the increasing use of renewable energy are:
- Houses and cars powered by solar energy
- Use of geothermal energy in areas with hot water springs
- Construction of wind energy farms in sea
- Research for cheaper and efficient material for solar cells and batteries
- Construction of dams to harvest kinetic energy of flowing water
- Research for alternative biofuels from the leftover husk of crops.
