Document Summary

Genetic recombination: the process by which the combinations of alleles for different genes in two parallel individuals become shuffled into new combinations of offspring individuals. A mechanism for bring the dna molecules close together. A collection of enzymes to cut", exchange", and paste" the dna back together. Meiosis: a specialized process of cell division that recombines dna sequences and produces cells with half the number of chromosomes present in the somatic cells of a species. The recombination of dna is a main source of genetic variability. Meiosis in males all 4 nuclei produced are functional sperm. Meiosis in females only 1 of the nuclei produced is a functional egg cell. Animals are haploid only as sperm or eggs, and fertilization returns a cell to its diploid state. Meiosis and mitosis in plants and some fungi: Alternate between haploid and diploid, either may dominate. Mitotic divisions occur in both haploid and diploid phases.
