Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I
Recombination through independent assortment and crossing over can occur during the process of meiosis.
The principles of segregation and independent assortment are at work during the metaphase I stage of meiosis.
Yes, the independent assortment of genes during meiosis does cause genetic variation.
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(:
No, independent assortment does not occur in mitosis. Independent assortment is a genetic principle that occurs during meiosis, where homologous chromosomes randomly align and separate into different daughter cells. Mitosis, on the other hand, involves the division of a single cell into two identical daughter cells with the same genetic information.

The two sources of genetic variation in a cell during Meiosis are crossing-over during synapse and independent assortment.
metaphase I of meosis
true the assortment is called genetic recombination
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.
independent assortment
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.
If independent assortment does not occur during meiosis, then genes located on different chromosomes would not be inherited independently. This would result in offspring inheriting linked genes that are typically separated during meiosis, potentially leading to genetic disorders and a disruption of genetic diversity.
