In humans, independent assortment occurs during meiosis, when the 23 pairs of chromosomes divide into 46 individual chromosomes, and 1 chromosome from each of the 23 pairs goes on to form a gamete (haploid cell) which can then be fertilised to produce offspring. The assortment is "independent" because each of the 23 chromosomes that go on to form a gamete can be from either chromosome within a "pair" - ie the 23 pairs of chromosomes are not linked together in any way when it comes to meiosis. This means that a large number of combinations of genetic material is possible - introducing a random result in the gamete.

How would increasing the temperature affect the rate of a reaction?
Doubles it
What would probably not affect the rate of solubility?
The size of the container or vessel used for the solute and solvent would likely not affect the rate of solubility, as long as there is sufficient space for mixing.
Under what condition would pressure affect the reaction rate?
If the reaction occurs in the gas phase
How would changing the amount of glucose available to a cell affect the rate of respiration?
Glucose utilization would increase a little
How do mutations natural selection geographic isolation genetic drift and migration contribute to biological evolution?
they contribute to biological evolution by how they've affected the evolution rate by increasing it or decreasing it
Does the amount of chromosomes in a species affect its rate of evolution?
The "rate" of evolution is most accurately gauged in terms of divergence between genetic sequences. Chromosomes are basically groupings of such sequences. It is certainly possible that the number and order of these groupings affect future developments (for instance: polyploidy and chromosomal fusions can affect speciation events), but they do little to affect the overall "rate" of divergence.
How does sports video game affect heart rate?
The only way it would affect your heart rate is if you got excited or nervous, which would raise your heart rate.
How does population size and mutations affect the rate of evolution?
A larger population size provides more genetic diversity, allowing mutations to have a greater chance of generating new beneficial traits. This can accelerate the rate of evolution as advantageous mutations are more likely to spread through the population. Conversely, a small population size can lead to genetic drift and decrease genetic diversity, limiting the rate of evolution.
What effect does generation time have on evolution?
A long generation time makes for a slow evolution rate, and a short generation time makes for a fast evolution rate.

What would probably not affect the rate of solubility?
The size of the container or vessel used for the solute and solvent would likely not affect the rate of solubility, as long as there is sufficient space for mixing.
How a change in medium water to gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion?
A change in medium water to Gelatin would affect the rate of diffusion dramatically. The change from water to gelatin would slow down the rate of diffusion.
