When F1-plants heterozygous for tallness is selfed, F2-generation has both tall and dwarf plants. This proves the principle of the Law of independent assortment.The Principle of Independent Assortment describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. An Independent assortment of genes and their corresponding traits was first observed by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.
