The environmental effects of an individual or group in terms of resources used and waste produced is an individual or group's ecological footprint (option A).

<h3>What is ecological footprint?</h3>

Ecological footprint is the measure of how much biologically productive land and water area an individual, population or activity requires to produce all the resources it consumes and to absorb the waste it generates using prevailing technology and resource management practices.

Living organisms make use of resources in the environment and these can either leave negative or positive effect on the environment that will affect sustainability.

Therefore, it can be said that the environmental effects of an individual or group in terms of resources used and waste produced is an individual or group's ecological footprint.

within a forest ecosystem, there is a large amount of diversity among members of a warbler species. of the following stages of m

Crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes, and is closely involved in genetic variation. The stage that most contributes to diversity is stage C, where you can see chromosomes after crossing-over.

----------------------------

There are different mechanisms involved in producing genetic variation among descendants. These are,

Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes (prophase 1),

Random lining of homologous chromosomes (metaphase 1),

Random fertilization

The Crossing-over events occur between two homologous chromosomes in the equatorial plane and make the daughter cells genetically different from the original one.

The Chiasma is the position where two homologous chromatids interchange genetic information, giving a place for new genetic material or information to be provided to descendants.

After crossing over, homologous chromosomes get separated again.

In the attached imaged there are four different stages of meiosis.

Stage C is the one that contributes the most to diversity.

We can see that crossing over has already occurred between homologous chromosomes, and they have already interchanged segments.

In the image you will see the difference between chromosomes that has gone through the crossing over mechanism, and chromosomes that has not. The difference in color represents segments interchange and variation.
