Thermodynamics is the correct answer.
Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase i. homologue chromosomes- 1 inherited from each parent pair along their lengths gene by gene. Independent Assortment is the process where the chromosomes move randomly to seperate poles during meiosis
A downside to this mutant corn wohld be that it would give rise to a presticide-immune strain of the certain insect.
All the non-immune bugs would die, leaving the few immune ones to reproduce. That would result in a overpopulation of immune super-bug that would still be able to go ham on the large, GMO corn, like nothing happened, and still go on to affect native plant populations. That can become a huge problem.
Hope that helped!
1) The bean plant gets energy directly from the sun to make its food by photosynthesis
2) The squirrel's digestive system breaks down food for energy
Hope this helped. :)
