Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome will assort independently during gamete formation.

However, this law holds true only when genes are located on separate chromosomes or when they are far enough apart on the same chromosome to allow for recombination.

Option A is incorrect because genes on different chromosomes indeed assort independently during meiosis, which follows Mendel's law.

Option B is the correct answer because when two genes are located close to each other on the same chromosome, they a...
