In addition to mutations, genetic variation can also arise during the formation of gametes during meiosis. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes can randomly exchange segments, in a process called crossing-over. This trading changes the order of the genes in the DNA and on the chromosomes. Exchange material is integrated into the rest of the chromosomes DNA. Each chromosome loses some DNA and gains some DNA. As a result, there are more genotypes in the offspring. 2. What function does recombination by crossing-over have in genetic variation

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle

occluded front i think

the answer is definitely 36.

hope this : )

which is not a category of marine organisms
