In most cases, the chromosomes line up properly and crossover (left panel). The unequal crossover (right panel) occurs because of "selfish DNA" sequences known as transposons, represented here as ...
B) The presence of duplicated sequences on a chromosome increases the frequency of chromosome misalignment during meiosis I. Misalignment can result in unequal crossover events that increase the ...
Unlike somatic cell division, which duplicates and divides the genome identically, meiosis creates genetically diverse reproductive cells through a mechanism known as crossover. Meiosis and ...
This solution is called meiosis. Mitosis describes the process by which the nucleus of a cell divides to create two new nuclei, each containing an identical copy of DNA. (Cytokinesis describes the ...
