Which of the following actions ONLY occurs during meiosis that helps make each new daughter cell unique?
❏ duplication of the chromosomes
❏ crossing over
❏ formation of a diploid
❏ cytokinesis
Part B.
Based on the answer to Part A, which of the following figures is the result of the parent cell after going through meiosis?

The answer to Part A is crossing over.
Explanation: Crossing over occurs during prophase I of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange segments of genetic material. This process increases genetic diversity in the resulting gametes, making each daughter cell unique.
For Part B, please provide the figures so I can assist you with identifying the correct result of the parent cell after meiosis.
