Question
When does chromosomal crossover occur?
Interphase
Meiosis II
Mitosis
Meiosis I
Interphase
Meiosis II
Mitosis
Meiosis I
Hint:
In this type of cell division, the number of cells is doubled but the chromosomes remain the same.
The correct answer is: Meiosis I
- Chromosome crossover is one of the final steps of genetic recombination that occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called a synapse.
- Synapses begin before the synaptonemal complex develops and are not completed until late in prophase I.
- Crossovers usually occur when the matched region on the matched chromosome breaks and then rejoins the other chromosome.

Which of the following is not an effect of a mutation?
mutation occurs at genetic level/ nucleotide level or DNA level but its effect when polypetide is formed.
the change in nucleotide sequence causes change in genetic codes(amino acid sequence) which formed wrong polypeptide.
so the after the mutation the protein is formed and mutation is nothing is related with the amount of protein.

To cause a frame shift type of mutation, ______ must occur.
A frameshift variant occurs when there is an addition or loss of nucleotides that shifts the grouping and changes the code for all downstream amino acids. The resulting protein is usually nonfunctional. Insertions, deletions, and duplications can all be frameshift variants.
A frameshift mutation in a gene refers to the insertion or deletion of nucleotide bases in numbers that are not multiples of three. This is important because a cell reads a gene’s code in groups of three bases when making a protein. Each of these “triplet codons” corresponds to one of 20 different amino acids used to build a protein. If a mutation disrupts this normal reading frame, then the entire gene sequence following the mutation will be incorrectly read. This can result in the addition of the wrong amino acids to the protein and/or the creation of a codon that stops the protein from growing longer.

_______ is known as the process of repetitive replication of a chromosome segment.
gene amplification is also called gene duplication in which the number of nucleotides are added on the gene sequence due to which the number of chromosomes are changed from 23 to N+1.
¶ Gene duplications can arise as products of several types of errors in DNA replication and repair machinery as well as through fortuitous capture by selfish genetic elements. Common sources of gene duplications include ectopic recombination, retrotransposition event,aneuploidy,polyploidy, and replication slippage.
¶Duplication results from an unequal crossing-over between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis. It may involve a replication of a portion of DNA, or of an entire chromosome.
