|
Crossing-over is an important process in meiosis cell division in that:
|
|
it allows for genetic recombination within gametes found in an individual. This is why you may have blonde hair, but you mom or dad does not have blonde hair.
|
|
|
it allows for the chromosomes to split apart during prophase I, within which they are able to pair up and design the DNA that makes up an individuals gametes.
|
|
|
it allows for people to have many different cells that provide the structure to form new somatic cells.

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This process, also known as crossing over, creates gametes that contain new combinations of genes, which helps maximize the genetic diversity of any offspring that result from the eventual union of two gametes during sexual reproduction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Crossing Over This process results in new combinations of alleles in the gametes (egg or sperm) formed, which ensures genomic variation in any offspring produced.
