Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase i. homologue chromosomes- 1 inherited from each parent pair along their lengths gene by gene. Independent Assortment is the process where the chromosomes move randomly to seperate poles during meiosis
- they are both found in the same place
- they are both passed down to newer generations
- both of them can determine your traits
They are important because so people do not get sickness
Other organisms such as an autotroph
