Which cyclic process is responsible for the sexual reproduction of a diploid sporophyte?

1 answer:

5 0

In sexual reproduction, the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents. Fertilization and meiosis alternate in sexual life cycles. What happens between these two events depends upon the organism. The process of meiosis, the division of the contents of the nucleus that divides the chromosomes among gametes, reduces the chromosome number by half, while fertilization, the joining of two haploid gametes, restores the diploid condition. There are three main categories of life cycles in eukaryotic organisms: diploid-dominant, haploid-dominant, and alternation of generations

Why is the frequency of recombinant gametes always half the frequency of crossing over?

kvv77 [185]

Crossing over occurs at the four-strand stage when two homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a pair of sister chromatids, are paired. Each crossover involves just two of the four strands and generates two recombinant strands.
