Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that Mendel always got close to a 9:3:3:1 ratio for phenotypes in the F2 generation of any dihybrid cross. This validates his law of independent assortment of genes.

The 9:3:3:1 is usually gotten from any dihybrid cross of F2 generation. The results given are always 9 offsprings containing dominant traits, 3 offsprings each which possess a dominant and recessive trait and 1 offspring with a recessive trait.
