Explanation:

Independent assortment states that all alleles are inherited independently of other alleles. This helps diversity because it helps to further the randomization of traits. If traits were always inherited together, as a "package deal", there would naturally be less diversity than the situation that exists.

What term is used to describe organisms composed of identical and unspecialized cells?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Embryo cell or totipotent cell

Explanation:

All organisms during their embryonic stage also known as totipotent cells are composed of cells that are identical in structure and function. These cells can differentiate at a later stage and have the potential to become any cell i.e heart cell, eye cell etc. Embryo is thus just a mass of unspecialized cell which undergo differentiation to then convert into pluripotent and form tissues and hence the organ.
