Problem
I. Short paragraph comparing and contrasting the events of mitosis and mitosis; that is, describe as many similarities and differences between the 2 processes that you can think of ,Be as specific and complete as possible.
II. What is the difference between the concepts "chiasmata" and "genetic recombination" (also called crossing over), and how are they related?
III. Assuming no genetic recombination, how many genetically distinct types of gametes can a single Ascaris bivalent produce? HINT: Each chromosome has a twin, like pairs of socks. Here's an exactly analogous problem: you have 3 pairs of socks, one white, one black, one brown. Each sock is tailored to a specific foot, right or left. How many different ways can you mix and match socks, one for each foot? For example, left = black, right = black is one such match. Left = white, right = black is another. So is right = brown, left = white. Feel free to draw it out---that often helps.
