b.Genes located on the same chromosome always assort independently. c.Whether or not independent assortment occurs is just due to random chance. d.The distance between genes located on the same chromosome determines whether or not they can show any level of independent assortment.

Title: What determines whether or not genes located on the same chromosome can assort independently? Post by: rkay9241 on Sep 3, 2012 The answer is D. Independent assortment refers to traits that are inherited independently of one another, meaning that inheriting one trait does not mean you will also inherit another trait. During crossing over in prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes link together and form a tetrad, and exchange DNA. If two genes are close together on a chromosome, it is likely that they will stay with each other during the crossing over process; this is called gene linkage. If two genes are not close together, it is likely they will independently assort.
