Solution (By Examveda Team)
A random assortment of genes will occur if the genes are located on different chromosomes.Random assortment contributes to the mixing up of genetic material in the gametes. This means that, although siblings often resemble each other, they are never identical unless they are monozygotic twins.
Independent assortment occurs spontaneously when alleles of at least two genes are assorted independently into gametes.
