A cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical. 13. Homologous chromosomes synapse and crossing over occurs. 14. Centromeres uncouple and chromatids are separated from each other. 15. Independent assortment of chromosomes occurs. _ 16. The process is preceded by replication of the DNA. ___

Explanation:

The descriptions describes some of the events that takes place in the mitosis and meiosis cell division process.

A cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical. . This describes mitosis

Homologous chromosomes synapse and crossing over occurs. . this happens in meiosis I only

14. Centromeres uncouple and chromatids are separated from each other - this happens in mitosis and meiosis II.

15. Independent assortment of chromosomes occurs. _ this happens in meiosis I only.

16. The process is preceded by replication of the DNA. ___. This happens in mitosis and meiosis II.

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
