Question

Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation

Answer 1

Crossing over is the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis. Crossing over results in a new combination of genetic information for the cell for a specific trait. Crossing over ensures that organisms are not identical from generation to generation. Genetic recombination allows for a variation in genetic material that is passed through the generations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Crossing over can create genetic variation. Crossing over is when chromosomes cross over they give + take a part of another chromosome which can create different variation in genes.
