The independent assortment happens in the following steps in the meiosis
1. During the Pachytene stage of prophase I of the meiosis one the genes in the homologous chromosomes mixes randomly among each other by a process called crossing over and largely responsible for the variation between the siblings.
2. Metaphase 1 : The random assortment of bivalent takes place.
3. MetaphaeII : The chromosomes move randomly to the equator
The principles of segregation and independent assortment are at work during the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .1 by crossing over in prophase I , 2 by independent assoartment and 3 by mutations in s phase .Meiosis produces variation in gametes by crossing over & independent assortment also called reshuffling of genetic material . Such gametes after fertilization produce offspring with different characters .
No, there is no S phase after meiosis 1.
The phase that happens only once in meiosis is prophase I, which is characterized by the pairing of homologous chromosomes and the exchange of genetic material through crossing over. This phase is unique to meiosis and does not occur in mitosis.
Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
The principles of segregation and independent assortment are at work during the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
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.

Metaphase is a phase in both mitosis and meiosis.
The phase that happens only once in meiosis is prophase I, which is characterized by the pairing of homologous chromosomes and the exchange of genetic material through crossing over. This phase is unique to meiosis and does not occur in mitosis.
The product of meiosis I is two haploid cells, each containing half the original chromosome number. During this phase, homologous chromosomes are separated and distributed into two daughter cells, resulting in genetic diversity due to processes like crossing over and independent assortment. These haploid cells will undergo meiosis II to further reduce their chromosome number and ultimately form gametes.
