How do the events of meiosis account for the law of segregation and the law of independent assortment?

∙ 6y ago
The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel's observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring, regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel's observation that factors, or genes, for different traits are inherited independently of each other.

∙ 13y agoThe law of independent assortment states that: A chromosome can go to either pole of the cell, just as long as its partner (ex, chromosome one from your dad's parter is chromosome one from your mom) migrates to the opposite pole.

Is re-assortment of a chromosomes can occur during meiosis by crossing over of non-sister chromatin's or by independent segregation of homologous chromosomes true or false?
true the assortment is called genetic recombination
What process is responsible for the independent assortment of alleles?
Meiosis
Which phase of meiosis is most directly related to the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meiosis
What principle states that during gametes formation genes for different traits separate without influencing ech others inheritance?
principle of independent assortmentthe law of segregationprinciple of independent assortmentThe law of segregation by Gregor MendelLaw of Segregationlaw of independent assortmentlaw of segregationsegregationThe Law of Segregation by Gregor Mendel. It states that the 2 alleles (one from each parent), in the offspring, segregates (separates) from each other during the formation of gametes (or sex cells).The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
How is the process of crossing over and independent assortment alike?
The crossing over is the process of exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes whereas the independent assortment is the process in which the chromosome pairs align themeselves at the equator of the cell . Crossing over takes place in Prophase I of meiosis I whereas the independent assortment takes place in metaphase I of meiosis I.
What is the relationship between independent assortment and meiosis?
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(:
What law states that each pair of chromosomes separates on its own in meiosis is called the?

What process is responsible for the independent assortment of alleles?
Meiosis
True or false reassortment of chromosomes can occur during meiosis by crossing over or by independent segregation of homologous chromosomes?
Independent assortment occurs when each pair of chromosomes segregates independently?
Which stage of meiosis is for the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meosis
When does inedependent assortment take place in meiosis?
Independent assortment of the chromosomal tetrads takes place in Prophase I.
Which phase of meiosis is most directly related to the law of independent assortment?
metaphase I of meiosis
What process produces genetic diversity through random distribution of chromosomes?
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
What is the type of assortment that involves the random distribution of homologous during meiosis?
independent
When does independent assortment occur in meiosis?
Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I
In meiosis the way in which a chromosome pair separates does not affect the way other pairs separate is another way of expressing Mendel's law of?
independent assortment
