Question

1. when alleles are swapped on sister chromatids of homologous pairs. (choose all that apply)

□ crossing over

□ cytokinesis

□ transcription

□ increase in genetic diversity

□ decrease in genetic diversity.

□ prophase 1

□ prophase 2

□ metaphase 1

□ metaphase 2

□ interphase 1

□ interphase 2

! this is a required question

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process where alleles swap between non-sister chromatids of homologous pairs during Prophase 1 of meiosis. This swap creates new genetic combinations, increasing genetic diversity. Cytokinesis is cell division, transcription is RNA synthesis, and other phases do not involve this swapping.

Answer:

Crossing over, Increase in genetic diversity, Prophase 1
