Mendel's second law states

• Factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other
• Factors controlling different characteristics are inherited together
• Purple flowers are the best
• Recessive traits will always disappear from the population over time

Mendel's second law states that factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other. This means that the inheritance of one trait does not influence the inheritance of another trait. For example, the inheritance of flower color would be independent of the inheritance of plant height.
