Gregor Mendel
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
The law of independent assortment. This principle states that genes located on different chromosomes segregate independently of each other during the formation of gametes, leading to a random combination of alleles in the offspring.

The frequency of recombination for two genes that exhibit independent assortment is 50.

Gene linkage us considered an exception to Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment.
The principles of segregation and independent assortment are at work during the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
This theory is known as Mendelian genetics. It involves the principles of segregation, stating that alleles of a gene separate during gamete formation, and independent assortment, which states that alleles of different genes assort independently of each other during gamete formation. These principles were established by Gregor Mendel in the 19th century through his experiments with pea plants.
Yes, the independent assortment of genes during meiosis does cause genetic variation.
Recombination through independent assortment and crossing over can occur during the process of meiosis.
