| 21 | how tetrads are oriented is random | 2 sets |
| 22 | mendelian theory that by the end of meiosis, each pair of homologous chromosomes (and linked genes on each one) are sorted before shipment to gametes independently of how the other pairs were sorted, later modified to account for the disruptive effect of crossing over on linkages | 2 sets |
