Recombination of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

Allows sister chromatids to separate and enhances genetic variation if crossing over has occurred.

Separation of homologous chromosomes, leading to each gamete receiving a different set of alleles.

Halves the number of chromosomes, producing haploid cells from diploid cells.

Can result in variation of chromosomal stability and potentially contribute to aging and disease.

Aligned recombinant chromosomes can randomly assort to promote variation.

Mitochondria are inherited maternally, and any variation contributes to genetic diversity.

Union of two gametes from different parents produces a unique combination of alleles.

Atypical separation of chromosomes can lead to genetic diversity, potentially causing disorders.

Unique orientation can lead to different combinations of chromosomes in daughter cells.

Biased segregation of alleles that can increase the frequency of a particular allele in a population.

Random orientation of homologous chromosome pairs at the metaphase plate.

Physical manifestation of crossing over in Prophase I, facilitates the exchange of genetic material.

Nonreciprocal genetic exchange that can produce new allele combinations.

Pairing of homologous chromosomes, allowing crossing over and genetic recombination.

Creates two copies of each chromosome, setting the stage for crossing over and segregation.

The unique combination of chromosomes from each parent promotes genetic diversity.

Exchange of DNA between nonhomologous chromosomes can create new gene linkages.

Post-replicative mismatch repair mechanisms can increase genetic diversity by creating new alleles.
