Question

Part C- Crossing over and genetic variation Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur normally. Consider how the absence of crossing over would affect the outcome of a single meiotic event Which of the following statements would be true if crossing over did not occur Select all that apply View Available Hint(s) Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur. The two sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome would no longer be identical. The two daughter cells produced in meiosis I would be identical The four daughter cells produced in meiosis Il would all be different. There would be less genetic variation among gametes. The daughter cells of meiosis I would be diploid, but the daughter cells of meiosis Il would be haploid Submit

Explanation / Answer

the only applicable point is that there would be less genetic variations among gamates. if crossing over does not occur their will be a population bottle neck arises as their is no breeding as a result decrease in size of population this can result in loss of alleles and decrease the size of gene pool. And if their is a lack of genetic variation then we might get more vulnerable to threat diseases.
