Question

Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur normally. consider how the absence of crossing over would affect the outcome of meiosis.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. Below is the to complete the question:

If crossing over did not occur, which of the following statements about meiosis would be true? Select all that apply.

There should choices that should accompanied the question, please see below:

The two daughter cells produced in meiosis I would be identical.

The two sister chromatids of each replicated chromosome would no longer be identical.

There would be less genetic variation among gametes.

The four daughter cells produced in meiosis II would all be different.

Independent assortment of chromosomes would not occur.

The daughter cells of meiosis I would be diploid, but the daughter cells of meiosis II would be haploid.

The answer is "There would be less genetic variation among gametes"
