Crossover events during meiosis benefit in two major areas: 1. It aids in randomness. This means a character the mom hands down and a character the father hands down can be completely different in their child, due to crossing over of sections of genes. 2. It helps prevent inhereted disorders. It can help "fight" against a disorder that a parent has and passes gentetically.

Recombination occurs during?
meiosis
How many daughter cell are produced when chromosomes undergo meiosis?
A total of four daughter cells are created during meiosis. There are two phases of meiosis, meiosis 1 and meiosis 2. During meiosis 1 two daughter cells are created while during meiosis 2 four daughter cells are created.
During what event of meiosis will chiasmata be observed?
during the pachytene stage of prophase-1 of meiosis -1 of meiosis ,the X shaped structure chiasmata is observed
During which phase of meiosis does crossover occur?
prophase I
Occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis?
Mistakes such as nondisjunction can occur during meiosis. This is the result of chromosomes failing to separate equally during either anaphase.
Which process is a source of varition of organism?
On a cellular level you have random union (of sperm and oocyte), genetic crossover (crossover during meiosis 1), and the independent assortment of homologous chromosomes. On a larger scale you have things such as genetic drift and natural selection that will impact the variation in organisms.
What two factors introduce genetic variation during the process of meiosis?
The two factors that introduce genetic variation during the process of meiosis are independent assortment and chromosomal crossover. These occur during prophase 1 and anaphase 1 of meiosis.
What is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes during pro phase of meiosis?
Crossing over or chromosomal crossover.
When a child has Trisomy when does the mutation occur?
during meiosis
What roles do chromosomes play in organisms?
They contain genetic information and is a form of DNA. It is copied during mitosis and meiosis.

If a child is born with down syndrome when did the mutation occur?
During meiosis
How can genetic variation be introduced to sexually reproducing organisms?
In organisms that reproduce sexually, each offspring gets half its chromosomes from its mother and half from its father. Therefore, except in the case of monozygous twins, the chances of chromosomally identical siblings are very low.
Recombination occurs during?
meiosis
Why are there two sets of phases during meiosis but only one during meiosis?
