Solution
The process that produces recombinant (partially maternal & partially paternal) chromosomes is meiosis only.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
-
During meiosis, one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells. These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. They are haploid.
-
In the first division of meiosis (meiosis I), the pairs of homologous chromosomes (one from the mother and one from the father) line up in the center of the cell. These pairs then exchange segments of their DNA in a process called
