Meiosis involves two key mechanisms that promote genetic diversity: independent assortment and crossing over. Independent assortment occurs during metaphase I when homologous chromosomes randomly align and segregate into gametes, resulting in various combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes. Crossing over, which occurs during prophase I, involves the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, further increasing variation in the resulting gametes. Together, these processes ensure that each gamete is genetically unique.
One thing that happens in meiosis that does not occur in meiosis is that produces 2 cellular divisions. This occurs as a direct result of sexual reproduction.
DNA is copied.
Meiosis occurs in gametes or reproductive cells.
Homologous chromosomes occur during meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half.
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).
