Do crossing over change the results of independent assortment in pea plants (unlinked genes)?

When you are studying genes that are not linked, that means the genes are on different chromosomes. Crossing over does not change the results when the genes are not linked. Crossing over only changes the results in linked genes because crossing over switches segments of the chromosomes during meiosis.
