Independent assortment does not happen in mitosis, it happens in meiosis. In metaphase I of meiosis, synapsed homologous chromosomes align independently of one another along the metaphase plate. That is to say, one aligning in a certain fashion has no effect on another aligning in a certain fashion. In mitosis, chromosomes are exact copies of the parental cell's and independent assortment is a method of achieving genetic variation, which does not happen in mitosis.

When alleles for different characteristics are on separate chromosomes they are distributed to gametes independently. This observation is summarized by the law of?
its independent assortment.
How do independent assortment crossing over and random fertilization affect the rate of evolution?
They will determine how the fertilization will occur. These can allow for some interesting changes to occur with the different plants.
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(:
Must spores occur in mitosis?
yes , it is essential for mitosis to occur in an amoeba in order for the cells to reproduce
When random assortment of chromosomes IN MITOSIS?
Crossing over occurs in meiosis. There is no need for crossing over in mitosis.
What does NOT occur when genes are linked?
Independent assortment.

its independent assortment.
What process produces genetic diversity through random distribution of chromosomes?
The random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called independent assortment
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 principle states that during gemete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each others inheritance?
Mendel's second law - The Law of Independent Assortment.
What is a characteristic of a ratio?
independent assortment
In what two ways does meiosis provide genetic variation?
The two sources of genetic variation in a cell during Meiosis are crossing-over during synapse and independent assortment.
Must mitosis occur in budding?
Mitosis must occur in budding.
