What is the purpose of crossing over?
To create genetic diversity in offsprings
What happened during crossing over
Homologous chromosomes exchange pieces of genetic material
What is an allele include an example
Different forms of a gene ex: brown eyes
Chemical factors that determine traits are called what
Genes
Explain what it means to be a diploid
2 alleles for the same gene
Explain what it means to be a haploid
1 allele for the same gene
Gametes are produced through a process called what
Meiosis
What’s the difference between relish
Prophase 1
What’s the difference between prophase 1 and 2
Prophase 2 doesn’t have the events crossing over, or synapsis
What’s the difference between metaphase 1 and 2?
Metaphase 1 homologous chromatid pairs line up in the middle metaphase 2 chromatid pairs line up in the middle
What’s happening in Anaphase 1 and 2
Homologous pairs separate and move to opposite sides of the cell
