Mendel's principle of independent assortment applies to the
1.independent assortment of a pair of alleles in the formation of gametes
2.independent assortment of one chromosome relative to its homolog
3.independent assortment of alleles of one gene relative to the alleles of any other gene
4.independent assortment of one member of a homologous pair of chromosomes (a homolog) relative to the other member of the homologous pair (the other homolog)

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.
