I agree with every statement and why its true but for A, it states:
Each gene pair tends to assort into gametes independently of other gene pairs that are located on nonhomologous chromosomes.
the term nonhomologous throws me off, i thought independent assortment they are talking about homologous chromosome pairs when they line up in metaphase and split into different cells where one homologous pair doesnt affect the distribution of the other pair into the other cell...
Or are non-homologous pairs in meiosis II also independently assorted as well??
thanks
