Gregor Mendel's law of independent assortment states that when genes are inherited, they are inherited independent of each other. Linked genes are exceptions to the law of independent assortment because two genes are located on the same chromosome, but this is generally mitigated when chromosomes cross over. law independent assortment Mendel genetics genes chromosomes meiosis crossing over. One of the basic principles of inheritance or genetics is the law of independent assortment otherwise known as Mendel's second law.
in 2N eukaryote species, most genes within the nucleus obey Mandel's patterns. Homologous pairs of chromosomes segregate during meiosis. Sex linked traits offspring's inherit one copy of each gene from each parent. Nuclear Genes - sorting of chromosomes during meiosis - genes on the chromosomes in the nucleus. Chloroplasts and Mitochondria are not sorted during meiosis and do not segregate into gametes.
