Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Independent assortment causes ____ chromosomes to be randomly distributed during anaphase I.
A
homologous
B
sister
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other. This is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The law of independent assortment states that the random orientation of homologous chromosome pairs during metaphase I allow for the production of gametes with many different assortments of homologous chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, and different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. This called is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Independent assortment of chromosomes is the random distribution of one chromosome per homologous chromosomal pair to each daughter cell during anaphase I. Chromosomal crossover, which begins in prophase I, results in genetic recombination between each tetrad (homologous chromosomes).
