Question

What is the evolutionary purpose of cells that undergo crossing over?

  1. Produce genetically identical gametes 

  2. Increase genetic diversity

  3. To prevent mutations 

  4. Keep  the redundancy of the cell high

     
     
     

The correct answer is:

Increase genetic diversity

crossing over provides genetic diversity in specious which is the major cause of process of evolution.

  1. Process of evolution.
  2. Construction of genetic maps.
  3. Production of new gene combination

Mutation occurs at the time of?

mutation can be occur when the cell are in dividing phase or non dividing phase.
mutation occurs naturally or artificially.
in cell division of meiosis , during prophase one there is change in the segment of chromosomes cases mutation due to which the progeny is differ from the parents.
In DNA replication due to some chemical mutagen , there is miss paring or wrong of base pair causes the mutation.
