Why are crossing over segregation and independent assortment important?

Independent assortment is important becasue it allows phenotype (physical traits) variation and individuality in each offspring. Otherwise, we'd each look alike and never have any difference in our physical makeup.

Is re-assortment of a chromosomes can occur during meiosis by crossing over of non-sister chromatin's or by independent segregation of homologous chromosomes true or false?
true the assortment is called genetic recombination
Crossing over is an efficient way to produce?
independent assortment
How is the process of crossing over and independent assortment alike?
The crossing over is the process of exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes whereas the independent assortment is the process in which the chromosome pairs align themeselves at the equator of the cell . Crossing over takes place in Prophase I of meiosis I whereas the independent assortment takes place in metaphase I of meiosis I.
Is genetic diversity due entirely to inherited genes on the sex chromosomes?
No, because genetic diversity has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes but is due to crossing-over of chromosomes independent assortment of chromosomes, and segregation of chromosomes
In what two ways does meiosis provide genetic variation?
The two sources of genetic variation in a cell during Meiosis are crossing-over during synapse and independent assortment.

independent assortment
Compare the process of crossing-over and independent assortment?
Crossing over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes where as Independent assortment is the process in which the chromosomes pair align themselves at the equator of the cell.

What is the genetic recombination of the kingdom animalia?
Meiosis, which includes crossing over and independent assortment
Describe two ways in which genetic recombination occurs during meiosis?
The independent orientation of chromosome tetrads in prophase I. Simplified diagram, FM FM or FM MF Crossing over also in prophase I. A part of the female chromosome and a part of the male chromosome, aligned together, swap places; genetic material.
In what two ways does meiosis provide genetic variation?

The calculation of offspring includes only variation resulting from?
crossing over, random fertilization, and an independent assortment of chromosomes
