STOP & THINK (essay question alert): How does crossing over during Prophase I increase
genetic diversity in the gametes produced at the end of meiosis?

Verified Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Crossing over in Prophase I of meiosis enhances genetic diversity in gametes by promoting recombination of genetic material between non-sister chromatids.


Explanation:

Crossing over during Prophase I of meiosis increases genetic diversity by allowing the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. This process, known as recombination, results in new combinations of genes within gametes, enhancing variation.
