How is genetic material exchanged during meiosis?
A) Following telophase, cytokinesis seperates the cell into two daughter
cells.
B) Microtubules attach to fused homologous chromosomes.
C) Segments of homologous chromosomes recombine, creating

Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction
Sexual reproduction is the most successful form of reproduction
within eukaryotes because:
A) in many animals, fragmentation is the sole mode of reproduction.
B) a sexually-reproducing population will leave less descendants with
decreased genetic diversity.
C) genetic diversity offers offspring a greater change of survival.
D) they are able to reproduce within an unpredictable environment
without the requirement of a partner.
