Method call from a different assembly

Let's suppose that program A loads assembly A and assembly B. These 3 entities live under the same app domain. Program A can access public methods and properties of assembly A and B.

Is it possible that Assembly A can access somehow public methods and properties of Assembly B without reloading the assembly? If not, and assembly B needs to call Assembly.Load, will the runtime understand that is already loaded and return a reference, or the assembly will be loaded from scratch in a separate memory space and be assigned a different reference?

You can use AppDomain.GetAssemblies to see if an assembly is loaded already, but it is also handled internally and Assembly.Load won't load the same assembly into the same domain twice.
