Question

identify the types of genetic recombination.
dropdown with options: crossing over, independent assortment, fertilization occurs in metaphase i.
occurs during sexual reproduction.
is random chromosome alignment resulting in variation.
occurs in prophase i.
fuses gametes to form offspring with genes from each parent.
exchanges genetic information between non - sister chromatids.

Explanation:

1. For "occurs in metaphase I, is random chromosome alignment resulting in variation": Independent assortment happens in metaphase I with random chromosome alignment for variation.
2. For "occurs during sexual reproduction, fuses gametes to form offspring with genes from each parent": Fertilization fuses gametes (during sexual reproduction) to create offspring with parental genes.
3. For "occurs in prophase I, exchanges genetic information between non - sister chromatids": Crossing over occurs in prophase I, exchanging genetic info between non - sister chromatids.

Answer:

1. occurs in metaphase I, is random chromosome alignment resulting in variation: Independent assortment
2. occurs during sexual reproduction, fuses gametes to form offspring with genes from each parent: Fertilization
3. occurs in prophase I, exchanges genetic information between non - sister chromatids: Crossing over
