(e) Mendel's Second Law of inheritance states that, "during gamete formation the segregation of each gene pair is independent of other pairs." How do the diagrams above prove this law? (AC 2.4).

(a) Using suitable symbols, draw a genetic diagram showing parents genotypes, to explain
this result in F1 offspring.
Parents genotype is SSBB (long black hair) and SSbb (short white hair)
Black hair - B
Short hair - S
white hair - b
Long hair - s
(b) Complete the Punnett square to show the results of interbreeding the F1 offspring.
