Solution

The correct option is B Statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is incorrect
A two-factor cross or cross between two contrasting characters is called a dihybrid cross. The Law of independent assortment is based on the observations of dihybrid crosses.
This law states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene. Assorted factors get randomly rearranged in the offspring.
