Random alignment of homologous chromosome pairs creates different combinations of alleles in gametes
During meiosis, what happens at the chiasma?
Homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material
What occurs during metaphase I of meiosis?
Pairs of homologous chromosomes align independently along the metaphase plate
Why is crossing over important for genetic diversity?
It creates new combinations of alleles on chromatids
