Definition
| during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together |
