The chromosomes of offspring are not identical to those of their parents or siblings because <u>genetic information</u> is shuffled during meiosis.

Meiosis can be described as a cell division process by which gamete cells divide. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half in this cell division process.

During the process of meiosis, genetic information is shuffled between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. This shuffling process is referred to as crossing over. A new combination of alleles is formed due to the process of crossing over.

It is due to the process of crossing over that the organisms produced are not identical to each other or the parents. Genetic diversity is important in order for populations to survive which is possible through the process of meiosis.

Which term is used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment? A. Stimulus B. Camouflage C. Parasites D. ho
Shalnov [3]
<span>A. Stimulus is the term used to describe what causes organisms to react to their environment. Stimulus is something that can provoke organisms to respond to the world around them. For example, if you put your hand on the stove, the stove is going to be the stimulus for you to get burned and move your hand from it because it will be to hot - that is going to be your reaction to the stimulus. Camouflage is a type of hiding mechanism, parasites are organisms, and homeostasis is equilibrium in an organism. </span>

marishachu [46]
To know how many \frac{3}{4} are in \frac{5}{2} we can simply divide \frac{5}{2} by \frac{3}{4}.
\frac{ \frac{5}{2} }{ \frac{3}{4} }=\frac{5*4}{2*3}=\frac{20}{6}=\frac{10}{3}
final result: 3,3333...
