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.

HELP PLZZ!!!!
Delvig [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The option A is the correct option. The fungi share a mutualistic association with the trees.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mutualism or interspecific cooperation is the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual fitness benefits from the activity of the other. And in this case, both plant and fungi are benefited by each other. The plant provides food and habitat for the living of fungi and fungi, in turn, decompose dead organic matter to provide simple compounds to plants.


While in commensalism only one either plant or fungi can be benefited. And it is also not a parasitic interaction.

Elena L [17]
 I<span>t is important for Mendel to study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance because</span> higher sample size gives more accurate results.

>>>Mendel coined the terms “recessive” and “dominant<span>” in reference to certain traits.One best association to this is is his study about pea plants. According to him, green peas are recessive and yellow peas are dominant.</span>
