Question

1,Definition: The genes for seed shape and seed color assort independently , because they are located on different chromosomes < Can't both of those genes located on the same chromosome? If so, how does this definition of independant assortment still work? 2, According to the chromosome theory of inheritance, genes are located on chromosomes and it is the chromosomes and not the genes that segregate during meiosis Q: Does this have anything to do with crossing over? What if some part of the gene is being crossed to the other homolog chromosome?
