When paternal and maternal chromosomes change their materials with each other in cell division this event is called
synapsis
crossing over
bivalent forming
dyad- forming
B.
crossing over
Crossing over is the mutual exchange of segments of homologous chromatids during first meiotic prophase.
Synapsis is the fusion of chromosome pairs at the start of meiosis.
DNA replication precedes the start of Meiosis I. During Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents and the formation of chiasmata caused by genetic recombination becomes apparent.
Dyad formation is a double chromosome resulting from the splitting of a tetrad during meiosis (germ cell formation).
Which of the following conditions represents a case of codominant genes
A gene expresses itself, suppressing the phenotypic effect of its alleles.
Genes that are similar in phenotypic effect when present separately, but when together interact to produce a different trait.
Alleles, both of which interact to produce a trait, which may or may not resemble either of the parental types.
Alleles, each of which produces an independent effect in a heterozygous condition.
