Question

Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation

Answer 1

Hus, when the sister chromatids separate, each chromosome is not the same as when it started--all traits from one parent or the other. Crossing over increasesgenetic variation. Crossing over is the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis

Answer 2

Crossing over is the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis.

Crossing over results in a new combination of genetic information for the cell for a specific trait.

Crossing over ensures that organisms are not identical from generation to generation.

Genetic recombination allows for a variation in genetic material that is passed through the generations.
