Every individual produced by sexual reproduction is unique. This is because of… (circle the TWO correct answers) a) Independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. b) Independent assortment of chromosomes during mitosis. c) Recombination occurring in prophase. d) Separation of chromatids occurring in anaphase 2. Solution a. Independent assortment of chromosomes during Meiosis c. Recombination occuring in prophase. After sexual reproduction the gametes that unite to form zygote are haploid. Since the haploid gametes are formed by the reductional divisions of diploid cell, So, The chromosomes that haploid gamete will carry, will be responsible for the characters inherited to the progeny Also the recombination that takes place in the prophase, determines the characters or traits inherited after the crossing over of chromosomes. Thus these two factors will be most responsible in determining the individuality of the progeny..
