Answer:

D). different due to independent assortment during meiosis​

Step-by-step explanation:

Gametes that an organism produces accommodates a blend of genes of that organism and in each gamete, this blend or combination is 'distinct and that is due to independent assortment during meiosis.' It implies that the chromosomes pass randomly for isolation of poles during the division of cells at the time of the process of meiosis and this independent segregation causes each gamete to contain a unique combination of genetic code. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
