Which best describes independent assortment?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up randomly along the middle of the cell.

Explanation:

In diploid (2n) organisms, the homologous chromosomes are the two copies of each chromosome, where one of these homologs is the chromosome from the mother, while the second one is from the father. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes pair together at the middle of the cell. The law of independent assortment, also known as or Mendel's Second Law, states that homologous chromosomes line up in random orientations at the metaphase plate during this period (metaphase I).
