Independent assortment
there are both paternal and maternal chromosomes, which carry maternal/paternal genes.
Chromosomes from the father are called y chromosomes.
Prophase I
Then you would have clones!
Daughter cells usually have a mixture of maternal and paternal chromosomes during meiosis 1
there are both paternal and maternal chromosomes, which carry maternal/paternal genes.
Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
Chromosomes from the father are called y chromosomes.
Fertilization
Prophase I

independent assortment
There are 23 pairs of chromosomes. This means that during meiosis there are 2 varieties of each chromosome to choose from - one paternal and one maternal. The assortment of individual chromosomes occurs independent of the other chromosomes. There are therefore 23 independent selection events, each with 2 options to choose from - so the total number of possible combinations is 223.
There are about 8 million possibilities for the gametes.
