Question

Which event occurs during meiosis that increases genetic variation and contributes to the process of

evolution?
O A. Cytokinesis occurs and separates the cytoplasm and its contents into daughter cells.
O B. Diploid gametes divide to form haploid daughter cells with unique genetic makeup.
O C. During interphase, homologous chromosomes are duplicated to form sister chromatids.
D. Segments of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes during crossing over.

Answer 1

D. Segments of DNA are exchanged between homologous chromosomes during crossing over.

Step-by-step explanation:

This ensures that the chromosomes get all mixed up in order to make new genes.

Answer 2

D
When the DNA is exchanged, it increases the amount of variation.
