Chromosomes

Behave as the unit of segregation in meiosis.

Testcross

A simple and direct test of independent assortment.

Chiasma

Paired chromosomes remain in contact during the first metaphase of meiosis and at which crossing over and exchange of genetic material occur between the strands.

Crossing Over

Exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during sexual reproduction.

Crossing Over

Results in 2 recombinant chromatids and 2 non-recombinant chromatids.
