Question

How is it that alleles on the same chromosome will assort independently if they are far enough from one another?

Answer 1

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in an event known as synapsis. The pairs of homologous chromosomes, called tetrads, can then exchange genetic information between non-sister chromatids. This process is called crossing-over. The further apart two genes are from each other on a chromosome, the more likely they are to be separated by crossing-over and the more likely they are to assort independently.
