Video transcript

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question Together. The pro phase of the first biotic division is a lengthy phase that is further subdivided into five sub stages. Crossing over is one of the most important events in mitosis that occurs during the blank stage. So we know that those five sub stages are leapt. A teen followed by go team, followed by paki teen followed by a team. And then lastly we have dionysus. And so when we're talking about crossing over and when it takes place, we know that it takes place during packaging. So crossing over takes ways and we know that during diaper routine, that's when those sites become visible. And so that would mean that answer. Choice B is the correct answer, because we know that crossing over, which is one of the most important events in mitosis, occurs during the paki teen stage of pro phase in the first biotic division. So answer choice B is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.

In this chapter, we focused on linkage, chromosomal mapping, and many associated phenomena. In the process, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions? How do we know that sister chromatids undergo recombination during mitosis?

When designed matings cannot be conducted in an organism (for example, in humans), how do we learn that genes are linked, and how do we map them?
