The answer is False.

Explanation: Genes that are close together on the same chromosome are said to be linked. Because they are physically close to each other, they tend to be inherited together during meiosis, the process of forming gametes. This means they do not assort independently according to Mendel's law of independent assortment, which applies to genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome. Therefore, the statement that genes close together on the same chromosome will often assort independently is incorrect.

A matte finish is a dull, non-reflective surface. A glossy finish is a reflective, glass-like surface. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. Glossy: Advantages - uses less material - less support material needed - stronger than matte finish Disadvantages - rounding of edges and corners because of the lack of support material It requires extra cleaning time to remove supports. The surface may be a bit softer. It requires more material. - the surface may not be completely uniform
