Meiosis increases the genetic diversity of gametes through which of these processes.
00:06
Genetic recombination, the independent assortment of chromosomes, binary vision, or alternation of generations.
00:17
So what goes into meiosis? well, we have a diploid cell, so it has two copies of each chromosome.
00:24
Let's say it only has a single pair.
00:26
And without any of these processes, there are only two possible gametes.
00:31
This one and this one.
00:34
But meiosis has ways of increasing the diversity.
00:38
So let me actually add a second pair.
00:43
Okay.
00:44
So these are the paternal and these are the maternal.
00:48
So again, without these processes, there's only two options.
00:53
These are the two options.
00:54
The first option that increases diversity is independent assortment, b.
01:00
Because you don't always get paternal chromosomes going to one gamete and matter are going to the other, they mix up.
01:07
So these two will separate and that does not affect how these two separate.
01:12
They could separate together like that or they could go like that.
01:16
So that increases the diversity of gametes...
