Meiosis and Genetic Diversity

AP Biology· difficulty 2/5

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that

  • A

    All gametes produced by a heterozygous parent carry identical allele combinations

  • B

    Alleles of different genes (on different chromosomes) sort independently into gametes

  • C

    The two alleles for a single gene separate from each other during gamete formation

  • D

    Genes located near each other on the same chromosome are always inherited together

Explanation

During meiosis, each homologous pair orients independently — different genes on different chromosomes assort independently.
