Identify 3 ways in which genetic recombination results during meiosis.
|
|
sperm and egg combine randomly
|
|
|
crossing over
|
|
|
unique haploid cells are produced
|
|
|
independent assortment
|
|
|
random lining up of homologous chromosomes
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Crossing over (in prophase I) Random assortment of chromosomes (in metaphase I) Random fusion of gametes from different parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -The unique combination of alleles that all sexually reproducing organisms receive from their parents is the direct result of recombination during meiosis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Random rearranging of alleles on chromosomes that occurs as a result of homologous pairs lining up during metaphase is known as independent assortment and is a factor in genetic diversity.
