Questions and Answers

During which stage of meiosis does crossing over occur?

  • Meiosis II
  • Prophase of Mitosis
  • Meiosis I (correct)
  • Anaphase of Mitosis

    • What is the significance of chiasmata in meiosis?

    • What is the main function of 'cleavage' during early embryo development?

  • Cleavage creates genetic diversity.
  • Cleavage ensures genetic recombination.
  • Cleavage provides metabolic support to the dividing cells. (correct)
  • Cleavage increases cell mass.
