Solution Summary

Meiosis is explained using strong examples. The chromosome movements during the different phases of meiosis are determined.

What your question is really asking is: At what point in Meiosis determines the contribution of a given parent to their gametes (the haploid products of meiosis)? It is possible for one parent to randomly contribute more dominant traits, resulting in a child that "more strongly resembles them".
<br>So back to the question: When does this occur in meiosis? First examining the two phases (I and II) of ...
