Independent segregation, where homologous chromosome pairs split randomly, leads to genetic variation as the resulting daughter cells can contain any combination of maternal and paternal chromosomes with different alleles.
O segregamento independente, onde os pares de cromossomos homólogos se separam aleatoriamente, leva à variação genética, pois as células filhas resultantes podem conter qualquer combinação de cromossomos maternos e paternos com diferentes alelos.
