Answer:

Meiosis and Genetic Variation.

Explanation:

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other. This is called independent assortment. It results in gametes that have unique combinations of chromosomes.

In sexual reproduction, two gametes unite to produce an offspring. But which two of the millions of possible gametes will it be? This is likely to be a matter of chance. It is obviously another source of genetic variation in offspring. This is known as random fertilization.

Which of the following is a direct benefit of biodiversity?
IRISSAK [1]

improved soil fertility

Explanation:

One direct benefit of biodiversity is improved soil fertility. Biodiversity is the variety of plants and animals living in a particular ecosystem.

  A soli is made up of organic matter. Organic matter is the remain of dead and decaying plant and animal materials in the soil.

Organic matter is a very important soil component.

Since plants and animals eat up plants which takes nutrients from the soil, there must be a way to replenish these vital soil materials.

 The more biodiverse an ecosystem, the better its chance of adding more nutrients to the soil as they decay.
