Do asexual reproduction occurs only in microorganisms?
No. Many plants and animals do reproduce by asexual means. But there is no exchange of genetic material in this type of reproduction.
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless what occurs?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless a mutation occurs. Mutation is a process wherein the genetic material of an organism is altered.
Chromosomes exchange genetic information through the process of what?
Chromosomes exchange genetic information during a process called crossing over. This occurs during meiosis
What genetic processes allow a species to change over time?
Mutations and the genetic shuffling that occurs with sexual reproduction
Which phase of meiosis do diversification occur?
Diversification occurs during the crossing over phase of meiosis, which is Prophase I. During this phase, chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in the recombination of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This process increases genetic diversity and contributes to the unique combination of traits in offspring.

How does reproduction in bacteria occur?
it occurs when a cell copies its genetic material and splits into two.
Why is conjugation a type of sexual reproduction?
Conjugate is a generic term for two things joining together for a purpose. In biology conjugation occurs when two bacteria or cells come together temporarily to exchange genetic material. The word is also used in chemistry to indicate two materials being combined so that the newly created combined material is easier to identify or isolate. With animals and people, it also means joining together to exchange genetic material, which is another was to say sexual reproduction.

Chromosomes exchange genetic information during a process called crossing over. This occurs during meiosis
What happens chromosomes undergo crossing-over?
During meiosis, permutation.
What genetic processes allow a species to change over time?
Mutations and the genetic shuffling that occurs with sexual reproduction
What disadvantages are there to asexual reproduction?
There is no genetic variability, (unless some random mutation occurs)
What is the genetic outcome of asexual reproduction?
an organism genetically identical to its parent, unless mutation occurs. Even in the case of mutation, there is less genetic diversity than there would be in sexual reproduction.
The exchange of genetic material between chromatids is called?
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between chromatids. This is also known as synapsis, and it occurs during prophase one of meiosis.
Which phase of meiosis do diversification occur?
Diversification occurs during the crossing over phase of meiosis, which is Prophase I. During this phase, chromosomes exchange genetic material, resulting in the recombination of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This process increases genetic diversity and contributes to the unique combination of traits in offspring.
