Crossing-over is important for ___________. (Select all correct choices)
A)ensuring proper chromosome segregation
B)ensuring proper chromosome miscegenation
C)introducing additional genetic variation into the population
D)delaying meiosis for an appropriate and necessary amount of time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossing-over during meiosis ensures proper chromosome segregation by promoting the alignment of homologous chromosomes and facilitates the exchange of genetic material between them. Through this process, new combinations of alleles are created, increasing genetic variation in the population. Delaying meiosis is not a function of crossing-over, and ensuring proper chromosome miscegenation is not a necessary process.
