Which of the following statements is incorrect? Crossing over is an exchange between non-sister chromatids of homologs. Independent assortment is the result of the random separation of homologs during meiosis I. Crossing over during mitotic metaphase produces genetic variation among offspring. Sister chromatids separate during mitosis. Sister chromatids separate during meiosis II

Answer:

Incorrect

Crossing over during mitotic metaphase produces genetic variation among offspring

Explanation:

the genetic crossing occurs in prophase I so this statement is false, in the metaphase that is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis is the next stage and what happens is an alignment in the midline of the spindle with the chromosomes

Somatic as well as reproductive cells divide and differentiates to form daughter cells that acquire the genetic information from their parents. Cell division is of two types mitotic and meiotic.

The correct answer is:

Option C. Crossing over during mitotic metaphase produces genetic variation among offspring.

This can be explained by:

  • Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the parent cell divides to form two daughter cells.

  • Mitosis goes through stages of prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

  • In the metaphase stage of mitosis, the genetic material condenses into chromosomes which later becomes visible.

  • In the formation of offspring the crossing over results in genetic variation during the meiosis stage.

Therefore, Crossing over during mitotic metaphase produces genetic variation among offspring is incorrect.
