Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, mimicry.

Explanation:

Mimicry in evolutionary biology refers to an evolved similarity between the organism and another organism of other species. The phenomenon may take place between the individuals of a similar species or between the individuals of distinct species. The main objective of mimicry is to safeguard the species from predators, resulting in an antipredator adaptation.  

The evolution of mimicry takes place when the predator witnesses a similarity between the model and the mimic and as a consequence modifies its behavior in a manner, which offers a selective benefit to the mimic.

omeli [17]

Answer: D. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.

Explanation:

The recombination or crossing over is a genetic process. It takes place during the Prophase I of meiosis. The homologous pair align and held together by synapsis. This results in the mixture of genes combination formed from both parents that can be represented as a single chromosome.

If the recombination do not occur then each chromosome will be either 100% maternal or paternal. Thus recombination assures the recombinant chromosomes which consists of genetic material from both parents. Thus the genetic diversity of offspring increases.
