Independent assortment in meiosis introduces variation through the random arrangement and orientation of bivalents at the equator, leading to new combinations of chromosomes in the daughter cells.
L'assortimento indipendente nella meiosi introduce la variazione attraverso la disposizione casuale dei bivalenti all'equatore, portando a nuove combinazioni cromosomiche nelle cellule figlie.
