What is the importance of DNA copying in reproduction?
The number of chromosomes in a certain type of cell division is halved. This kind of cell division occurs in:
(a) only testis
(b) only ovary
(c) both ovary and testis
(d) all body cells
During which stage of Prophase I, does the crossing over takes place ?
Homologous chromosomes
Sister chromatids
Cross overs
Parental chromosomes
Reason: Gametes are produced only by mitotic division which involves crossing over between homologous pairs of chromosomes.
