Statement I: In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous pea plants (, for round-yellow seed traits), the classical Mendelian phenotypic ratio in the F generation is .
Statement II: This ratio is direct evidence of Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the alleles of two different genes segregate independently of one another during gamete formation, provided the genes lie on different chromosomes (or are far apart on the same chromosome).
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer.
