What is the purpose of crossing over in meiosis?

Provides genetic variation and diversity

Ensures all daughter cells are identical

Which of the following describes the cell cycle?

Cell division--creates new somatic cells

Which of the following describes meiosis?

Cell division--creates new somatic cells

What is the purpose of mitosis?

to grow, replace, and repair cells

In meiosis , crossing over occurs in prophase 1. What is the significance of this event?

This process can lead to genetic variation and diversity.

This allows chromosomes to be evenly divided.

This process can create gaps the DNA.

This process allows for new DNA to form.

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.

In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

In meiosis , crossing over occurs in prophase 1. What is the significance of this event?

This process can lead to genetic variation in daughter cells.

This process ensures that chromosomes are evenly divided into daughter cells.

This process can create gaps in the chromosome DNA for RNA to bind.

This process allows for spindles to connect to the chromosomes in order to pull chromosomes apart.

When does DNA replication happen?

Interphase (specifically S Phase)
