Question

Q6.5. Which statement below is TRUE? Crossing over shuffles genes between non-homologous chromosomes. During meiosis, cells arrange their alleles so that beneficial alleles are passed on together. Without crossing over, offspring would be genetically identical to parents. New combinations of alleles arise from the random events of crossing over, independent assortment, and mutation.
