Answer:

independent assortment occurs in metaphase I and anaphase I

Explanation:

Independent assortment is the development of haphazard combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on separate pairs of homologous chromosomes through the passage as stated by the laws of probability i.e  one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes pairs into each gamete independently of each other pair. This principle describes and demonstrates how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develops.

Part of the significance of independent assortment is to produce new genetic combinations that increase genetic variations within a population.

To increase the genetic diversity in the offspring.

Morgarella [4.7K]

The allele would be called codominant

When a dominant and recessive allele exist in an organism, only the dominant allele will be expressed. Dominant allele always mask the recessive because the gene code a protein while recessive gene doesn't. When both gene code a protein, they will be codominant and both gene will be expressed. The result could be a mixed effect. In this case, the purple is mixed color of red and blue.
