Im guessing anaphase II?

thomaster (thomaster):

The answer is in the image

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so prophase I?

thomaster (thomaster):

Yes :) crossing over occurs in the profase of meiosis I, so profase I

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why there is a greater diversity in sexual reproduction than in asexual reproduction? its just a question for myself.

thomaster (thomaster):

Because asexual reproduction is just cloning

thomaster (thomaster):

the offspring is genetically identical to the parent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, and would this be a good answer to the following question? or could you change it up a bit? question - Both mitosis and meiosis begin with a diploid cell that contains replicated chromosomes. Explain the main differences between these two processes and what types of daughter cells produced by each. My answer - In mitosis, an exact copy of the cell is made. In meiosis, the cells created are completely unique only with some genetic traits passed on from the parent cell.

thomaster (thomaster):

That's correct, Maybe something to add: meiosis produces haploid daughter cells, mitosis proces diploid daughtercells.

thomaster (thomaster):

produces*
