Question

question 7 0.45 pts how does meiosis create genetic variation? each gamete produced has the same genetic information as the parent cell daughter cells have twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell each gamete produced has a different combination of genetic information

Explanation:

To determine how meiosis creates genetic variation, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Gametes have half the genetic info of the parent (due to reduction division in meiosis), so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Daughter cells in meiosis (gametes) have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, not twice, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: During meiosis, processes like crossing - over and independent assortment lead to each gamete having a unique combination of genetic information, which is how genetic variation is created.

Answer:

C. Each gamete produced has a different combination of genetic information (assuming the third option is labeled as C; if the original labeling was different, adjust the identifier accordingly, e.g., if it was the third radio button option, state the text of the option as the answer: "Each gamete produced has a different combination of genetic information")
