The new combination of alleles produced by crossover events help to generate genetic diversity. This is because the offspring are different from the parents.
Novel combinations of alleles arise during meiosis, specifically during the phase known as crossing over in prophase I of meiosis in which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. This results in genetic recombination and introduces new combinations of alleles into offspring.
Four different phenotypes can be produced: AABB, AABb, AaBB, and AaBb. This is the result of different combinations of alleles from each parent in the offspring.
A punnet square shows all possible combinations of alleles from two parents and predicts the likelihood of certain genetic outcomes in their offspring. By organizing alleles into different combinations, a punnet square helps demonstrate the principles of Mendelian genetics, including dominant and recessive traits.
The percentage of AB gametes produced by an AaBb parent is 25%. This is because during meiosis, the two alleles segregate independently, resulting in equal proportions of gametes with different combinations of alleles (AB, Ab, aB, ab). By calculating the possible combinations, we see that only 25% will be AB gametes.
Each parent can pass on one of two alleles for each gene to their offspring. This results in four possible combinations: A-B, A-b, a-B, and a-b, where A and a represent alleles from one gene and B and b represent alleles from another gene.
Crossing-over
new combinations of alleles
No, the chromosomes in the two daughter cells produced by meiosis do not necessarily have the same alleles for each gene. During meiosis, particularly in prophase I, homologous chromosomes undergo crossover, leading to the exchange of genetic material between them. This recombination results in genetic variation, so the daughter cells can have different combinations of alleles. Additionally, independent assortment during metaphase I contributes to this variability.
new combinations of alleles
The creation of new combinations of alleles is called genetic recombination. This process occurs during meiosis when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, leading to the formation of unique combinations of alleles in offspring.

A single crossover of homologous chromosomes results in two chromatids that have recombined genetic material from both parents. This means that two of the chromatids will have segments from one homologous chromosome, while the other two will retain the original segments from the other homolog. Therefore, the set of chromatids illustrating this result will show two chromatids with new combinations of alleles and two chromatids with the parental combinations.
With 10 alleles, there can be 45 possible pair combinations (10 choose 2 = 45) if we are considering pairs of alleles. If we are looking at all possible combinations including single alleles, there would be 1+10+45 = 56 total outcomes.
