I am not really sure about meiosis in relation to structure of chromosomes and inheritance of genes, could you please help, also provide a small explanation as well, hope you can help.

The genome is segmented into a number of linear chromosomes that each carry numerous genes. While chromosomes assort independently obviously genes on the same chromosome remain linked by residing on a common structure. In this way the chromosomes structure impacts how the genes recombine every generation.
However in Meiosis I there is an alignment of homologous pairs in synaptonemal complexes and a crossover that exchanges matched segments between nonsister chromatids. This reduces the degree of linkage by exchanging homologous segments and recombining linkages to increase the degree of recombination in every generation.
