Answer 2

D. If seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

If seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome, they would not be inherited independently of one another.

Genes on the same chromosome are more likely to be inherited together. The only way they could be inherited independently is if crossing over occurred between the two genes.

Therefore, this would argue against Mendel's law of independent assortment.
