How is crossing over different in mitosis and meiosis?
How is crossing over different in mitosis and meiosis? Mitosis: The resulting daughter cells in mitosis are genetic clones (they are genetically identical). No recombination or crossing over occur. Meiosis: The resulting daughter cells contain different combinations of genes. What is crossing over in mitosis? Crossing over occurs between prophase I and metaphase I and is the process where two homologous non-sister chromatids pair up with each other and exchange different segments of genetic material to form two recombinant chromosome sister chromatids. Can Crossing Over happen during mitosis? Crossing over does not occur in mitosis. Explanation: Mitosis is cellular cloning....
