Document Summary

9. 1 mechanism of genetic recombination genetic recombination: requires two dna molecules that differ from one another, a mechanism for bringing the dna molecules into close proximity, and a collection of enzymes to cut, Meiosis changes both chromosome number and dna sequence. 1. homologous chromosomes find their partners and pair lengthwise, gene for gene, in a process called synapsis. 2. during this pairing, recombination occurs, and chromosomal segments are exchanged. 3. the members of each homologous pair are moved into one or the other of the two daughter cells. Sex chromosomes: chromosomes that are different in male and female individuals of the same species. Y chromosome: sex chromosome that is paired with an x chromosome in male cells. 4. these mechanisms working together produce so much variability that no two products of meiosis produced by the same or individuals and no two zygotes produced by union of the gametes are likely to have the same genetic makeup.
