Law of In·de·pend·ent As·sort·ment


noun 
Definition:
 
law of gene inheritance: one of Mendel's laws stating that during meiosis, the alleles of a gene segregate independently of the alleles of other genes, so that the inheritance of an allele of one gene does not influence the inheritance of an allele of another gene. In practice, genes that are close together on a chromosome may be inherited together.
