Independent Assortment is the second law of inheritance


Traits are passed from parents to offspring independently of one another.


Independent assortment is random and occurs during Metaphase I of meiosis.


There are two possible alignments for the chromosomes.


Since the alignments are random and not assigned, genetic variation occurs.

<span>independent assortment of genes occurs during meiosis in eukaryotes. Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in a parent cell by half to produce four reproductive cells called gametes. In humans, diploid cells contain 46 chromosomes, with 23 chromosomes inherited from the mother and a second similar set of 23 chromosomes inherited from the father. Pairs of similar chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells, and this separation, or assortment, of homologous chromosomes is random. This means that all of the maternal chromosomes will not be separated into one cell, while the all paternal chromosomes are separated into another. Instead, after meiosis occurs, each haploid cell contains a mixture of genes from the organism's mother and father.</span>

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Bromothymol blue is an indicator dye that turns yellow in presence of an acid. It remains blue if the pH of the given solution is greater than 7.6 and yellow when the pH is less than 6. The yellow coloration is due to the formation of carbonic acid in the from the carbon dioxide present in the solution.


When aquatic plants are added to two test tubes containing bromothymol blue, stoppered and kept in dark for two days, no color change is observed. It is because the carbon dioxide present is utilized in the process of photosynthesis by plants. If the experiment is conducted in presence if the light, the color of bromothymol blue would be yellow due to the presence of carbon dioxide.

George says that as a baby grows into an adult, their cells get much larger but the number of cells stays the same.
Virty [35]

Cells do not get larger to show that a baby has grown. Instead, they multiply through cell division.

<h3>What is growth?</h3>

Growth is an irreversible increase in the size and or weight of organisms.

The growth of living organisms is caused by the division of vegetative cells in their body.

Cell growth does occur for cells but this happens in preparation for cell division.

When the number of vegetative cells increases through cell division, an organism begins to increase in size accordingly.
