Question

Independent assortment is a process where the alignment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. This process contributes to genetic variation, as gamete formation results in unique combinations of genetics. Which diagram best shows crossing-over?

Answer 1

Answer:

The law of independent assortment states that the random orientation of homologous chromosome pairs during metaphase I of gamete formation allows for the production of gametes with many different assortments of homologous chromosomes.

Explanation:

Crossing-over is the process by which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. Independent assortment is the process by which homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells during meiosis.
