Question

Crossing over shuffles alleles on:_____.a. sister chromatids.b. different non-homologous chromosomes.c. chromosomes within different cells.d. different homologous chromosomes.d. none of the answers are correct.

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

Crossing over shuffles alleles on non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

At the prophase I stage of meiosis, homologous chromosomes synapsed to form a four-chromatid structure known as tetrad. Exchange of chromosomal segments between non-sister chromatids of the tetrad then takes place, a process that results in the reshuffling of genes or alleles on the non-sister chromatids.

Hence, none of the answers is correct.

Correct option: d
