Independent assortment in humans distributes a all the mater

Independent assortment in humans distributes:

a. all the maternal chromosomes to one daughter and the paternal cells into the other daughter cell.

b. any of the over 8 million possible combinations of maternal.

c. exact copies of each sister chromatid to daughter cells.

d. one chromosome in each of 23 cells.

e. a chromosome pair into each of two cells.

Solution

Independent assortment is the phenomenon by virtue of which all the genes distribute into gametes of an organisms independently and un-influenced by the presence of other genes. This phenomenon makes the basis of explanations given be Gregor Mendel from his classical experiments on genetics. This holds true for all the genes located on all the 23 pairs of chromosomes of the humans during gametogenesis. However, linkage of genes is an exception to this phenomenon and the linked genes are not assorted independently. Thus, owing to independent assortment, any of the millions of possible combinations might take place and can be transmitted to the daughter cells

Thus, based upon this explanation, choice b is correct.
