Solution:
According to the Mendel's law of Independent Assortment, the pairs of "factors" segregate independently of each other when germ cells are formed. Homologous chromosomes synapse during meiosis and then separate to segregate independently into different cells which establishes the quantitative basis for segregation and independent assortment of hereditary factors.
