Homologous chromosomes are separated. Homologous chromosome are paired. Nuclear envelopes form around separated chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes line up on the equator.
Homologous chromosome are paired.
Nuclear envelopes form around separated chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes line up on the equator.
Chromosomes are lined up by spindle fibers. Nuclear envelope forms around each set of DNA. Sister chromatids are pulled apart. Centromeres move toward the poles of the cell.

Explain the relationship between crossing over and genetic variation.
Crossing over is the process during meiosis where homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange sections of genetic material between nonsister chromatids. This results in genetic recombination, which creates new combinations of genes on a single chromosome. This process is a key source of genetic variation, ensuring that offspring have unique genetic profiles and are not identical to their parents or siblings.
