Question

The research done by Soto, Sonnenschein, and Hunt reveals how chemicals could affect the production of gametes, thereby affecting the passage of genetic traits down from one generation to the next. Which of the following mechanisms are responsible for the generation of genetically diverse offspring?
a. independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis I
b. independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis II
c. genetic recombination
d. crossing over

Answer 1

Answer:

a,c,d

Explanation:

Crossing over occcur when genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosome this leads to formation of new genes that creates diversity.

homologous chromosome assort imdependently i.e seperate from each other leading to the formation of an entirely new gene that creates diversity.

Genetic recombination when gene recombines together to produce a unique type. It occurs between different species.
