A) crossing-over
B) independent assortment of chromosomes
C) pairing of homologous chromosomes
D) having different alleles of the same gene

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crossing-over, independent assortment of chromosomes, pairing of homologous chromosomes, and having different alleles of the same gene all contribute to genetic variability in offspring. Crossing-over and independent assortment occur during meiosis, pairing of homologous chromosomes ensures genetic diversity through recombination, and different alleles introduce variation at the gene level.
