Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mendel's second law of independent assortment refers to how the alleles of different genes assort into gametes independently of one another. This is possible due to the random alignment of homologous pairs at the metaphase plate during meiosis I. The alignment of tetrads (composed of two homologous chromosomes) at the equator during metaphase I determines which homologous chromosome will go to each daughter cell, allowing for independent assortment of alleles at different loci.
