1) Alleles segregate independently during the formation of gametes in sexually reproducing organisms.
2) No, all offspring cannot be identical in a 2-factor Punnett square because different combinations of alleles from both parents can produce varied phenotypes.
3) The inheritance pattern shown by the child with type AB blood is codominance because both A and B alleles are expressed equally.
4) Meiosis increases genetic variation through processes like crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes.
