I do GP Biology (9th year here), and I'm on the quiz "Week 13-Meiosis: The Life Cycle of S-x Cells". I got the question What happens during crossing over? The answer was "homologous chromosomes trades pieces of DNA." Hope this was the answer you're looking for!
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
Chromosomes form during cell division, specifically during the process of mitosis. During mitosis, the chromosomes condense and line up before being separated into two daughter cells.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
The pairing up of maternal and paternal chromosomes during meiosis happens in the prophase I stage. This pairing is called synapsis and results in the formation of a structure called a tetrad.
Crossing over during prophase I of meiosis.
During crossing-over, chromosomes of a homologous pair breaks and exchange genes.
By crossingover.
It results in the exchange of alleles between homologous chromosomes and produces new combination's of alleles.
During prophase of cell division, there are typically 46 cells in humans.
Chromosomes are copied.
During crossing over, the pairs of homologous chromosomes exchange pieces of their sister chromatids with one another. This process results in every sister chromatid being genetically different from one another. Eventually, meiosis II results in four non-identical haploid cells called gametes, each containing one set of chromosomes. Crossing over during prophase I greatly increases the possible genetic combinations for an offspring.
Th process of independent orientation of chromosomes while in their tetrad forms. But, the more important process that also happens in prophase I is the process of crossing over where chromosomes, male and female, exchange regions of the chromosomes, one with the other.
The process of crossing over starts during prophase I of meiosis and ends during metaphase I.
During prophase in the cell cycle, DNA replicates by unwinding and separating into two strands. Enzymes called DNA polymerases then create new complementary strands by adding nucleotides to each original strand. This process results in two identical copies of the DNA molecule.
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis. This process results in the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity by creating new combinations of genes.
