Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Through meiosis, all of these events occur. Alternate forms of genes are shuffled through the process of crossing over and independent assortment. Parental DNA is divided and distributed to forming gametes through the separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and sister chromatids during meiosis II. The diploid chromosome number is reduced to haploid through the two rounds of division in meiosis. Offspring are provided with new gene combinations through the shuffling of alleles during meiosis.
