Gregor Mendel studied the inheritance of two characteristics at once and found that each pair of alleles segregates independently during the formation of gametes. In other words, if a tall pea plant with purple flowers is crossed with a short plant with white flowers, some of their descendants can be tall with white flowers. The tall and purple alleles do not have to stick together - they are independent.
