Independent assortment happens at random when alleles are taken from different homlogous chromosomes or when the same pair of chroosomes are far apart during meiosis; this results in diversity in genetic combinations.

What are the sources of variation in the offspring produced by sexual reproduction?
Random assortment & crossing-over
How does sexual reproduction produce variation in offspring?
Sexual reproduction is a source of genetic variation. Recombination of chromosomes during meiosis allows for the exchange of DNA, also known as independent assortment. Random segregation also plays a role, as well as some mutations to change the phenotype within different offspring.
When alleles for different characteristics are on separate chromosomes they are distributed to gametes independently. This observation is summarized by the law of?
its independent assortment.
Which one involves gametes sexual reproduction or a sexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction.
What is the relationship between independent assortment and meiosis?
Meiosis 1 is the process of separating chromosomes (independent assortment). Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes. So without meiosis, there would be no way to separate the chromosomes randomly. Hope that helps(:
What are the two main of genetic variation?
In humans? Independent assortment and sexual reproduction
What are two ways that sexual reproduction helps create and and maintain genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction helps create and maintain genetic diversity by: # The independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. # The random fertilization of gametes.

How meiosis help in generating variations?
Meiosis generates variations due to activities like independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and random fertilization that occur during the process. Meiosis occurs during sexual reproduction.
What causes continuous variation in humans?
There is variation among humans because of sexual reproduction, crossing over, assortment, and mutations.
When alleles for different characteristics are on separate chromosomes they are distributed to gametes independently. This observation is summarized by the law of?
its independent assortment.
What is the difference between fission and sexual reproduction?
Fission is a process of assexual reproduction that happens when an organism divides, generating new organisms with independent life. Sexual reproduction requires two parents.
Which type of reproduction results in the greatest amount of genetic variation?
That would be sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for independent assortment and crossing over to occur. This is fancy language for the genetic material gets mixed up a lot. Since the genetic material gets mixed up, variation will result.
What process produces genetic diversity through random distribution of chromosomes?
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
Which one involves gametes sexual reproduction or a sexual reproduction?
Sexual Reproduction.
