Which sentence describes the principle of independent assortment?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. This means that the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene. Option B is the closest to this description, although it slightly misrepresents the principle by not explicitly mentioning different genes or multiple traits. The principle typically applies to genes on different chromosomes or those far apart on the same chromosome.
