Summary Introduction

To explain: The possibility of genetic variation if crossing over is between paternal and maternal chromatids having the exactly similar alleles for every gene.

Concept introduction:

Crossing over is the process of exchange of gene segments among non-sister homologous chromatids. It forms recombinant chromosomes that contain genetic materials from both parents that generate genetic variation.

MAKE CONNECTIONS Look at Figure 12.7 and imagine the twodaughter cells undergoing another round of mitosis, yielding four cells.Compare the number of chromosomes in each of those four cells, aftermitosis, with the number in each cell in Figure 13.8, after meiosis. Whatis it about the process of meiosis that accounts for this difference, eventhough meiosis also includes two cell divisions?
WHAT IF? Propose a possible reason that the firstnaturally occurring mutant fruit fly Morgan sawinvolved a gene on a sex chromosome and was foundin a male.
WHAT IF? A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somaticcells. How many chromosomes did the chicken inheritfrom each parent? How many chromosomes are in eachof the chicken’s gametes? How many chromosomes willbe in each somatic cell of the chicken’s offspring?
