Independent assortment occurs during mitosis and causes uncontrolled cell division which is harmful to a species.

|
Independent assortment results from the copying of DNA during cell division and causes variations that are sometimes beneficial to a species.

|
Independent assortment results from the binary fission of a single cell and causes mutations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species.

|
Independent assortment occurs when chromosomes separate during meiosis and causes variations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species.

Detailed explanation-1: -Independent assortment occurs during mitosis and causes uncontrolled cell division which is harmful to a species. Independent assortment results from the copying of DNA during cell division and causes variations that are sometimes beneficial to a species.
Detailed explanation-2: -Independent assortment produces new combinations of alleles. In meiosis I, crossing over during prophase and independent assortment during anaphase creates sets of chromosomes with new combinations of alleles. Genetic variation is also introduced by random fertilization of the gametes produced by meiosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which best describes the process of independent assortment? The way one pair of homologues lines up along the metaphase plate does not affect how any other pair lines up.
Detailed explanation-4: -Independent assortment is the process where the chromosomes move randomly to separate poles during meiosis. A gamete will end up with 23 chromosomes after meiosis, but independent assortment means that each gamete will have 1 of many different combinations of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following describes why independent assortment results in genetic diversity? Homologous pairs line up randomly during metaphase I, so genetic information in the gamete may all come from one parent, or a mix of both parents.
