LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT

 LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. 

In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

allele
One member of a pair (or any of the series) of genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome (called locus) that controls the same trait.
-Biology Online Dictionary


LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
Example 
“SEX LINKAGE AND RECOMBINATION”

Sex linkage
-is the phenotypic expression of an allele that is dependent on the gender of the individual and is directly tied to the sex chromosomes.

Recombination
- The process or act of exchanges of genes between chromosomes, resulting in a different genetic combination and ultimately to the formation of unique gametes with 
chromosomes that are different from those in parents.
