Meiosis is referred to as reduction division as it divides the chromosome number in half. Crossing over or recombination is the main reason of shuffled genes and increased genetic variation in gametes in meiotic cell division as the homologous pairs are paired up during prophase.

<h3>What is crossing over?</h3>

Crossing over is referred to as the exchange of genes of DNA between paired homologous chromosomes. It actually occurs during the development of egg and sperm cells i.e., during meiosis.

It is an enzyme-mediated step, in which the exchange of genetic material takes place between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.

It actually occurs at the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis cell division.

Thus, it can be concluded that the crossing over is the main reason of shuffled genes and increased genetic variation.

Answer:

B)  The mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products,

Explanation:

Given that the reaction is balanced, the mass of the reactants must equal to the mass of the products.

We know this by virtue of the law of conservation of mass.

 The law of conservation of mass states that "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but atoms are rearranged".

 Therefore, if the reaction is chemically balanced, the mass of reactants must be the same as the mass of the products in the reaction.

The second choice is the right one.

If cleansing beneath the foreskin is inadequate, a voided urine specimen may contain _____. a. Escherichia coli b. Staphylococcu
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:
