How could meiosis result in a chromosome in a gamete that has parts of both chromosomes in a parent's pair of homologous chromosomes?

Respuesta :

The sperm carries one chromosome of the homologous pair and the egg has also one otherchromosome homologous to the first. After fertilization, when the zygote is formed it has one chromosome from the sperm and one chromosome from the egg that was fertilized by the sperm.

Answer:

Formation of the actual gamete nuclei can now proceed simply through a second cell division, division II of meiosis, without further DNA replication. The duplicated chromosomes align on a second spindle, and the sister chromatids separate to produce cells with a haploid DNA content.
