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(:
Independent assortment occurs in meiosis during metaphase I when homologous chromosomes align randomly at the metaphase plate. This allows for different combinations of alleles to be present in the gametes produced.
Independent assortment does not happen in mitosis, it happens in meiosis. In metaphase I of meiosis, synapsed homologous chromosomes align independently of one another along the metaphase plate. That is to say, one aligning in a certain fashion has no effect on another aligning in a certain fashion. In mitosis, chromosomes are exact copies of the parental cell's and independent assortment is a method of achieving genetic variation, which does not happen in mitosis.
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, leading to genetic variation. Independent assortment is the random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, also contributing to genetic diversity.
Recombination and independent assortment during meiosis contribute to genetic diversity by shuffling and mixing genetic material from two parents. Recombination creates new combinations of genes on chromosomes, while independent assortment randomly distributes these chromosomes into gametes. This results in a wide variety of genetic combinations in offspring, increasing genetic diversity.

The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
Independent.
(Mendel's law of) independent assortment. This states that the chromosomes can line up along the equatorial line in 2^23 different arrangements (in humans- but 2^n in other animals with a different number of chromosomes)
Law of independent assortment

true the assortment is called genetic recombination
Recombination and independent assortment during meiosis contribute to genetic diversity by shuffling and mixing genetic material from two parents. Recombination creates new combinations of genes on chromosomes, while independent assortment randomly distributes these chromosomes into gametes. This results in a wide variety of genetic combinations in offspring, increasing genetic diversity.
The law of independent assortment is most directly related to the metaphase I stage of meiosis. During metaphase I, homologous chromosomes line up randomly at the equatorial plate, independently of each other, before separating into different daughter cells. This random alignment contributes to the independent assortment of alleles from different genes located on non-homologous chromosomes.
Independent assortment in sexual reproduction refers to the random distribution of maternal and paternal chromosomes into gametes during meiosis. This results in a variety of genetic combinations in offspring, contributing to genetic diversity. Independent assortment increases the likelihood of producing individuals with unique traits.
