Answer: She does not need to complete another step.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mendel's 2nd law of inheritance is also known as law of independent assortment of genes.

It states that each character behaves as a SEPARATE unit and is inherited INDEPENDENTLY of any other character.

Therefore, the cross BETWEEN the blue-flowered plant with a red-flowered plant NEED NO OTHER step to explain inheritance pattern.
