Crossing over occurs.

The process of meiosis accomplishes which of the following? It provides eight haploid gametes and can eliminate chromosomes. It allows genetic exchange and eliminates the formation of haploid cells. It produces four haploid cells and allows exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. It provides for formation of four haploid cells and reduces the need for sister chromatids.

It produces four haploid cells and allows exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.

Gametes are produced by _____. 1) meiosis 2) fertilization 3) mitosis 4) the cell cycle 5) asexual reproduction

Meiosis

Which of the following statements is correct? The sperm and egg have twice as many chromosomes as the parental cells. Asexual reproduction requires the production of eggs and sperm. Meiosis results in gametes that are used in reproduction. Geneticists use the terms "son" and "daughter" to distinguish between cells resulting from cell division.

Meiosis results in gametes that are used in reproduction.
