Question

should we expect the proportion of the seeds that are red and round to be the same as the proportion that are purple and round, assuming independent assortment?
yes
no

Explanation:

Under the principle of independent assortment, the inheritance of seed - color (red or purple) and seed - shape (round) are independent events. The probability of getting a red and round seed depends on the allele frequencies for color and shape, and the probability of getting a purple and round seed also depends on those independent allele frequencies. If the allele for red and purple have equal frequencies in the population under study, we would expect the proportions to be the same.

Answer:

Yes
