Answer:
Independent assortment can be described as the phenomenon through which genes and chromosomes assort independently into gametes, during the process of meiosis. The alleles of a gene assort independently into chromosomes. Due to this phenomenon, variations are produced among parents and offsprings. For example, parents who are carriers of disease can transfer both the disease-causing alleles in offsprings. Due to this, the offspring will have the disease whereas the parents would be normal.
