5.2 Meiosis and Genetic Diversity - Review

This review will guide you through an adaptive, research-backed study session. As you answer questions, we will actively assess your current understanding of the material. Questions will continue to be drawn until you have demonstrated mastery of each learning objective.

Reviews are graded based on completion. You will receive full credit for achieving 100% mastery or answering all questions.

Learning objectives for this review:

  • Describe how the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during prophase I increases genetic variation.
  • Discuss how the random alignment of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I leads to genetic diversity in gametes.
  • Explain how genetic diversity arising from meiosis contributes to evolution and adaptation in populations.
