13.
Synapsis plays a large role in the reduction division that is meiosis. How does this process help reduce chromosome number?
a)
It pairs homologous chromosomes during meiosis II.
b)
It pairs homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.
c)
It pairs homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and II.
d)
It permits the exchange of genetic information between sister chromatids.
14.

mitosis and nondisjunction
b)
synapsis and independent assortment

synapsis and crossing-over
15.
What is the effect of crossing-over on the daughter chromosomes, those chromosomes that result once sister chromatids are separated by the first division of meiosis?
a)
Crossing-over deletes some alleles and duplicates others so the daughter chromosomes contain the new mutations.
b)
Crossing-over does not have any detectable effect on the daughter chromosomes.
c)
Genetically identical daughter chromosomes result.
d)
Genetically different, or recombinant, daughter chromosomes result.
