Question
Chapter 9.7, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The way errors in the cross-over results in changes in the chromosome structure.
Introduction:
A biological process known as crossing over occurs when equivalent chromosomes are linked with one another during meiosis. When these two chromosomes, one from each parent, align, parts of the chromosome may be swapped. Even though some genes are located on both chromosomes, they may exist in different forms.
