Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation.
Crossing over during meiosis exchanges genetic material between non-sister chromatids, creating new combinations of genes and increasing the genetic variation passed to offspring.
What information did you include in your response?
Explain how independent assortment occurs in cells and explain its importance.
Independent assortment is Mendel’s second law of inheritance, which states that traits are passed from parents to offspring independently of each other. This process occurs during Metaphase I of meiosis when homologous chromosome pairs align randomly at the metaphase plate. Because there are two possible alignments for each pair of chromosomes and these alignments are determined by chance, the process leads to significant genetic variation in the resulting gametes.
