Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.

∙ 9y agoScientists now know that independent assortment of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes. Meiosis is a form of cell division that lowers the number of chromosomes in a parent cell by half to make four reproductive cells called gametes.

What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
What is an explanation of what independent assortment means?
With assortment in meiosis the daughter cells from Meiosis I split into four sister cells. Then the sister cells can re-combine with the genes from the other parent, therefore the final daughter cells have different possible genetic combinations. The result is in other words, and simple terms, variation.
Recombination occurs during?
meiosis
If two genes are on the same chromosome a. crosing over occurs frequently b. they assort independently c. they are in the same linkage group d. they are segregated during meiosis?
They are in the same linkage group.
How many daughter cell are produced when chromosomes undergo meiosis?
A total of four daughter cells are created during meiosis. There are two phases of meiosis, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. During meiosis 1 two daughter cells are created while during meiosis 2 four daughter cells are created.
In which stage do chromosomes independently assort?
Metaphase I during meiosis
What are two ways in which human genetics follows the genetic patterns seen in other organisms?
First, meiosis independently assorts chromosomes when gametes are made for sexual reproduction and second, human heredity involves the same relationsips between alleles-dominant and recessive interactions, polygenic traits, and sex-linked genes.

What structure actually assort independently?
Independent assortment is a phrase that is usually used in reference to chromosomes as they are placed into sex cells during meiosis.
When a child has Trisomy when does the mutation occur?
during meiosis

What is meant to be segregation when sex cells are produces?
Freedom of genetic characters to move independently from parents to the gametes by the process of crossing over which takes place during meiosis.
If a child is born with down syndrome when did the mutation occur?
During meiosis
The segregation of different traits' alleles happens?
meiosis (anaphase II)
