Question

What observation is explained by the law of independent assortment? Recessive trait forms are always hidden in the F 1 generation.

Each pair of chromosomes separates on its own during meiosis.
Dominant trait forms are always displayed in the F 1 generation.
Homologous chromosomes cluster in tetrads during meiosis.

Answer 1

Each pair of chromosomes separates on its now during meiosis


your answer

Answer 2

Correct answer: B). Each pair of chromosomes separates on its own during meiosis.

The Law of independent assortment states that a pair of alleles separates independently during the formation of gametes. It means that trait is transferred to the offspring independently of another gene.

When a cell divides during the meiosis, chromosomes are distributed randomly during the anaphase-1 of meiosis, which results in segregation and separation of genes independently of each other. And it leads to the formation of unique formation of chromosomes in the gametes.
