What is the relationship between independent assortment and meiosis?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
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(:

When does inedependent assortment take place in meiosis?
Independent assortment of the chromosomal tetrads takes place in Prophase I.
When does independent assortment occur in meiosis?
Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I
In meiosis the way in which a chromosome pair separates does not affect the way other pairs separate is another way of expressing Mendel's law of?
independent assortment
When does independent assortment occur in mitosis?
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.
Independent assortment in sexual reproduction?
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 process is responsible for the independent assortment of alleles?
Meiosis
Which stage of meiosis is for the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meosis
How is the process of crossing over and independent assortment alike?
The crossing over is the process of exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes whereas the independent assortment is the process in which the chromosome pairs align themeselves at the equator of the cell . Crossing over takes place in Prophase I of meiosis I whereas the independent assortment takes place in metaphase I of meiosis I.
When does inedependent assortment take place in meiosis?
Independent assortment of the chromosomal tetrads takes place in Prophase I.
Which phase of meiosis is most directly related to the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meiosis
What process produces genetic diversity through random distribution of chromosomes?
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
What is the type of assortment that involves the random distribution of homologous during meiosis?
independent
During meiosis what is the chromosomes relationship between mother and daughter cells?
The mother cell has 4n the chromosomes. The daughter cells each have n. The chromosomes are also not identical because of independent assortment and crossing over.
When does independent assortment occur in meiosis?
Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I
In meiosis the way in which a chromosome pair separates does not affect the way other pairs separate is another way of expressing Mendel's law of?
independent assortment
What is the genetic recombination of the kingdom animalia?
Meiosis, which includes crossing over and independent assortment
What is the type of assortment that involves the random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis?
Independent.
