What would most likely to the alleles for two different traits during meiosis if they were located on the same chromosome?

If the alleles are close enough to each other they will have a very low likelihood of crossing over separately during meiosis. The farther apart they are on the chromosome the higher the likelihood they will be separated during crossing over.

What would most likely happen to the alleles for two different traits during meiosis if they were located on the same chromosomes?
Depending on their relative location on the chromosome the alleles will remain on the same chromosome or be separated in the crossing over part of meotic divsion. The closer they are to each other the more likely they will stay together.
What is the function of chromosome changes that occur in mitosis?
These changes usually occur in meiosis not mitosis. It causes a mixing of the alleles.
What separates meiosis?
The answer to this amazing question is alleles!!!! :) alleles
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation
The segregation of different traits' alleles happens?
meiosis (anaphase II)

How is independent assortment different from cross over?
Every diploid cell has two alleles for every gene. Segregation means that when these alleles go through meiosis to create gametes, they will segregate from one another, and each of the haploid gametes will end up with only one allele.Independent assortment comes into play when you are looking at how the alleles of two genes separate. As long as each gene lies on a different chromosome, then the alleles of these genes will assort themselves independently of one another when the haploid gametes are formed in meiosis. Each haploid gamete can end up with a different combination of alleles of these two genes.

What would most likely happen to the alleles for two different traits during meiosis if they were located on the same chromosome?
If the A allele represents the dominant allele at a specific locus and a represents the recessive allele for the same locus they cannot occupy the same locus on one chromosome. A heterozygous individual would have A on one chromosome and a on the other.

How does the significance of meiosis maintained the chromosome number?
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
Are the four haploid products of meiosis genetically indentical?
No. Two are from one allele of each chromosome divided with independent assortment (meaning each chromosome could send either allele to either cell and this is random). And there is crossing over between alleles whereby portions of the chromosome are "swapped". This is also random. No two products of meiosis are ever identical... even from the same parent.
