Chapter 9.2 - "Cell Division: Meiosis"

Looking at the image provided on quizizz, the homologous chromosomes are performing an important process. What is the process that is occurring between the homologous chromosomes?

• the chromosomes found within the cell are aligned in the nucleus so they can further cell division.
• The chromosomes found within the cell are pairing up with other chromosomes that are similar and unalike within gene combination.
• The chromosomes found within the cell are pairing up with other chromosomes that are alike, and are performing a process called crossing-over.
• Mr. Boice has changed.

During this phase of mitosis I, the homologous chromosomes (example: homologous chromosomes = alike pairs) are crossing-over within which they are sharing the genetic material (DNA). This process allows for genetic diversity, which allows a person to have the same hair color as their grandparents, but not their parents.

• Interphase I
• Prophase I
• Metaphase I 
• Anaphase I

Meiosis is a more specific type of cell division (of germ cells, in particular) that results in _______________ , either eggs or sperm, that contain half of the chromosomes found in a parent cell.

• meiosis cells
• mitosis cells
• gametes
• trametes

Crossing-over is an important process in meiosis cell division in that:

• it allows for genetic recombination within gametes found in an individual. This is why you may have blonde hair, but you mom or dad does not have blonde hair.
• it allows for the chromosomes to split apart during prophase I, within which they are able to pair up and design the DNA that makes up an individuals gametes.
• it allows for people to have many different cells that provide the structure to form new somatic cells.
• none of the answers are correct

Sexual reproduction uses the process of meiosis to increase genetic diversity. Offspring created through asexual reproduction (mitosis) are genetically identical to their parent, but the germ cells created during meiosis are different from their parent cells.
