How is Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment related to meiosis?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: From his experiments, Mendel concluded that in dihybrids, the alleles of the genes governing
the two characters assort independently during gamete formation. During meiosis, pairs of
chromosomes do indeed segregate independently of the other pairs of chromosomes to
produce gametes.
