Solution

Mendelian recombinations are due to independent assortment of characters.

Explanation:

Mendelian recombinations occur due to the independent assortment of characters during meiosis. This means that genes located on different chromosomes segregate independently, resulting in new combinations of traits in the offspring that differ from those of the parents. This independent assortment leads to genetic variation by producing recombinant offspring with traits inherited from both parents in novel combinations.
