Answer;

Traits are inherited independently of each other

The discovery that Gregor Mendel made was that traits are inherited independently of each other.

Step-by-step explanation;

-Genes located on different chromosomes will be inherited independently of each other. This is the principle of independent assortment. For example, Mendel cross-bred pea plants with round, yellow seeds and plants with wrinkled, green seeds. Only the dominant traits (yellow and round) appeared in the F1 progeny, but all combinations of trait were seen in the self-pollinated F2 progeny.
