Question
                Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently during gamete formation. Which phase of meiosis determines the combinations of alleles of different genes that end up in the daughter cells?
prophase I
metaphase I
anaphase I
metaphase II
            
            
        prophase I
metaphase I
anaphase I
metaphase II

    The phase of meiosis that determines the combinations of alleles of different genes that end up in the daughter cells is **metaphase I**. 
During metaphase I, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the metaphase plate, and the orientation of each pair is random. This independent orientation leads to the independent assortment of alleles, resulting in various combinations of alleles in the gametes.
