a.during gamete formation, gene pairs assort independently of one another

The best answer is a, but it's not a brilliant explanation as gene pairs is a rather vague expression.

If you have any two genes F and K for a change a heterozygote FfKk will produce 4 possible gametes because allele F can end up in a gamete with either K or k, and the same is true for f, so you will get FK, Fk, fK and fk, because the two genes are independent of one another.

If I had to guess I would say, the Law of Independent Assortment states that separate genes for separate traits are passed independently of one another from parents to offspring. That is, the biological selection of a particular gene in the gene pair for one trait to be passed to the offspring has nothing to do with the selection of the gene for any other trait. More precisely, the law states that alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation.

Sounds like a. but then enabling you to pass on your inferior genes may not be such a wise idea, so you're on yoru own!

Hope that helps

Impartial assortment is just a fancy manner of saying that during meiosis, each and every chromosome will line up any manner it desires. For example: AX aX BX bX or aX AX BX bX or aX AX bX BX or aX AX BX bX
