Question 3

Question
During which stage of meiosis does crossing-over occur?
Answer
  • Prophase I
  • anaphase I

Question 4

Question
What is the importance of crossing-over?
Answer
  • It provides extra genetic material for the daughter cells.
  • It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.
  • It produces the proteins that are associated with DNA in chromosomes.
  • It increases chromosome condensation.
  • It separates the homologous chromosomes.

Question
Synapsis is when a duplicated chromosome pairs with its homologue to form a tetrad.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
Between meiosis I and meiosis II a second round of DNA replication occurs.
Answer
  • True
  • False
