Transcript

00:01 The question is about what characterizes the independent assortment of genes into gametes.

00:16 So this independent assortment was a law given by mendel.

00:24 Correct? it is also called as mendel's law of independent assortment.

00:30 So what exactly this law states? this law will state that alleles of.

00:36 Two or more genes, alleles of two or more genes are inherited independently without depending on each other into the gametes or within the gametes.

01:01 Correct.

01:03 Which means the gametes which is going to receive an allele is not going to influence by each other.

01:11 So the assortment is independent.

01:16 So this means what that alleles of two different genes will be sorting independently.

01:22 And the options given us here are option one says that alleles of genes which are present on a homologous chromosome or homologous pair we can say homologous pair of chromosome.

01:41 They will tend to sort independently.

01:46 Now this is the correct statement.

01:50 So this is matching with the law which is proposed by mendel law that alleles of a gene on one pair of homologous chromosome will sort independently of allel which is present on the other chromosome.

02:03 That means this first statement is going to characterize the independent assortment of genes.

02:09 Now the other statements given are not...
