Document Summary

Before: the basic mechanism of dna recombination in meiosis. The dna is replicated and homologous chromosomes pair up. The protein structure supports the dna while its sugar-phosphate backbone is cleaved and attached to the other chromosomes". One event of dna recombination includes cleaving of four dna backbones: the stage of meiosis when recombination occurs. Gene duplication allows for a higher chance of the formation of mutations. Which allow for further evolution to occur in the species: products of meiosis in animals vs. plants, fungi and algae. For animals, diploid gametes are produced after meiosis. For plants, diploid cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid spores, which grow via mitosis, and forms the zygote (diploid). Meiosis occurs for a relatively small time in a vertebrate"s life cycle. Eggs are arrested after meiosis i in females until needed meiosis for males is continuous from puberty onward it only starts to occur for males starting from puberty: main differences between meiosis and mitosis.
