Meiosis Independent Assortment Metaphase State Ways Produces Variation

This flashcard lists the ways meiosis generates genetic variation: crossing over during prophase I and independent assortment of chromosomes in metaphase I and chromatids in metaphase II.

Meiosis produces variation through crossing over (prophase 1) and independent assortment (metaphase 1 & 2).

Front State the ways in which meiosis produces variation.
Back Meiosis and genetic variation:
  • Crossing over during prophase 1
  • Independent assortment of chromosomes in metaphase 1
  • Independent assortment of chromatids in metaphase 2
