multiple choice 3 points
the diagram shows an event that occurs during meiosis.
what is the result of this event?
chromosomes that are genetically identical to the paternal chromosome
chromosomes that are genetically identical to the maternal chromosome
chromosomes that are a genetic combination of the parent chromosomes
chromosomes that contain a different amount of genetic information than the parent.

Explanation:

Crossing - over during meiosis involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes (paternal and maternal). This results in chromosomes that have a new genetic combination of the parent chromosomes.

Answer:

chromosomes that are a genetic combination of the parent chromosomes
