    Hiya thank you for a good video. For AQA Alevel biology, is it required to know each stage of Meiosis I and Meiosis II.

    and the same in Meiosis II etc.

    So out of independent segregation and genetic recombination, which actually occurs first? And cos recombination only happens sometimes (Im assuming independent segregation always happens), in what cases does it happen like what causes recombination, is it random?

    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  3 роки тому

      they'll be happening at very similar times as independent segregation involves the chromosomes aligning and crossing over happens when they are aligned.

      Hello,
      Do you mean what meiosis would look like with low diversity?
      I'm not exactly sure what is needed from those instructions, but low genetic diversity would mean there are not many alleles in the population, so maybe you need to show this on the chromosomes in your meiosis diagram.

    hi I wanted to ask how comes in meiosis 1 It docent produce a diploid cell even though both gametes have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell?

    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  2 роки тому

      In meiosis I, the homogous pairs of chromosomes are separated. A diploid cells has 2 copies of each chromosome (meaning homologous pairs). So this means it isn't a diploid cell. It is a haploid cell, but the chromatids haven't been separated yet.

    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  3 роки тому +3

      The cells that enter meiosis II are haploid. They have one chromosome from each homologue pair, its just the chromosomes still have two sister chromatids. These sister chromatids separate in meiosis II, and the resulting cells ( the gametes) are still haploid cells, just not with the duplicated sister chromatid.

      you only have to know it occurs in meiosis I for A level. It starts to occur in prophase but it is still happening in metaphase, as this is when homologous pairs are lined up next to each other making crossing over possible.
