Question

which process that occurs during meiosis contributes to a germ cell having unique genetic material?
replication
crossing over
transcription
spindle formation

Explanation:

• Replication: Duplicates DNA but doesn't create unique genetic material.
• Crossing over: Exchanges genetic material between homologous chromosomes, creating new combinations.
• Transcription: Converts DNA to RNA, not related to genetic uniqueness in germ cells.
• Spindle formation: Helps in chromosome separation, not for genetic uniqueness.

Answer:

crossing over
