Question
An event occurs during prophase I of Meiosis that ensures genetic diversity. Discuss this event:
include its name, what it is, and how it leads to genetic diversity.
Answer
The event is called crossing over or recombination. It is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. This process leads to the creation of new combinations of alleles on the chromosomes, resulting in genetic diversity among the gametes produced.
