Meiosis is the division of the sex cells (sperm and egg). Meiosis produces gametes with one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. A female gamete and male gamete will then undergo fertilization and create a zygote. (not limited to just humans, meiosis occurs in sexually reproducing organisms).

What type of reproduction produces genetic variation?
The type of cell division is meiosis
When Homologous chromosomes swap genetic information as part of meiosis?
Prophase I is the phase of meiosis.
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is Meiosis the basis for?
genetic recombination and formation of gametes
Does meiosis have variation?
During meiosis, genetic recombination of homologous chromosomes occurs. So meiosis does result in genetic variation. After prophase I, during which crossing over occurs, every chromosome will have some maternal DNA and some paternal DNA.
What type of reproduction produces genetic variation?
The type of cell division is meiosis
How does meiosis contribute to the genetic traits of a ReeBop offspring?
Meiosis produces the genetic material that will be paired with the genetic material of the partner. This will determine the traits the baby inherits.
What is interkinsis?
Interkinesis is the period between the first and second divisions in meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division of genetic material (DNA). Meiosis produces genetic diversity.
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
Do mitosis and meiosis produce cells with the same amount of genetic information?
Meiosis cells have half the amount of genetic info as cells of mitosis.
When Homologous chromosomes swap genetic information as part of meiosis?
Prophase I is the phase of meiosis.
Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from?
meiosis, Ap BIO
How does meiosis create variation?
Meiosis creates genetic variation through the production of 4 haploid daughter cells, each with random genetic combinations. Meiosis also creates genetic variation through the process called crossing over, where chromosome segments are exchanged.
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is the reshuffling of chromosomes during meiosis?
genetic recombination
What is Meiosis the basis for?
genetic recombination and formation of gametes
How does meiosis aid in evolution?
contributes to genetic variation.
