Explain how meiosis creates genetic diversity in populations.-?

 Meiosis creates genetic diversity due to the processes that occur during meiosis. Such as crossing over which creates new gene combinations due homlogous chromosomes swapping or exchanging DNA segments. Independent assortment is also during meiosis and allows the random assortment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase 1.

How does DNA get repaired during meiosis?

Meiosis does not repair DNA, instead it produces copies of itself.


Is DNA replicated during mitosis or meiosis?

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle before both mitosis and meiosis.


Which statement correctly describes how cellular DNA content and ploidy levels change during meiosis you and meiosis II?

During meiosis I, the DNA content is halved as homologous chromosomes separate, leading to haploid daughter cells. In meiosis II, sister chromatids separate without DNA replication, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with the same DNA content as the parent cell before starting meiosis.


During meiosis how many replications occur?

DNA replicates once during meiosis. This is why the end result is four haploid cells.


At what stage of meiosis recombinant DNA is made?

Recombinant DNA is made during the crossing over stage of meiosis, specifically during prophase I. This is when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to the formation of new combinations of genes.


Which does not occur during meiosis?

DNA replication does not occur during meiosis. Meiosis is a specialized cell division process that involves two rounds of division to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. DNA replication happens during the interphase preceding meiosis.


How much DNA would a gamete contain if the DNA was also replicated between meiosis you and meiosis ii?

A gamete would contain the haploid amount of DNA, which is one complete set of genetic material. During meiosis, DNA is replicated once during S phase but is not copied again between meiosis I and meiosis II, so each gamete ends up with a single set of chromosomes.


What change occurs in the amount of DNA during meiosis?

During meiosis, the amount of DNA is reduced by half in each cell division. This reduction occurs during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes separate, leading to cells with only one set of chromosomes (haploid). This reduction is necessary to ensure that when egg and sperm cells combine during fertilization, the resulting zygote will have the correct amount of DNA.


Does DNA replication occur after telophase 1?

Telophase is a phase of mitosis. DNA replication must occur before mitosis begins. If it does not then the DNA chromosomes may not be consistent throughout the division of the cells.


During which phase of the meiotic cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

None. DNA replication occurs before meiosis I begins.
