| Which phase of meiosis is responsible for the Law of Independent Assortment? | Metaphase 1 and 2 is responsible for the Law of independant assortment. |
| How did Mendel produce hybrids and what is the genotype of the hybrids? | The genotype is Yy. He crossed a homozygous dominant pea plant, and a homozygous recessive pea plant. |

| What is the difference between the genotype and phenotype? | The genoype is the genetic makeup of an organism. A phenotype is how an organism appears. |
| What is Mendel's Law of Independant Assortment, and Law of Segregation? | Mendel's Law of Independant Assortment states that the random distribution of allels occrus during gamete formation. Mendel's Law of Segregation states that two allels for each trait separate during meiosis. |
| What is the result of crossing over? | The result of crossing over is new gene combinations. |
