Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs during meiosis and contributes to genetic mixing during reproduction (genetic recombination).
At the end of prophase 1 (early metaphase 1) of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes (i.e. of the same pair) overlap thus forming characteristic features called "chromatid tetrads" and exchange fragments of chromatids. The result is the intra-chromosomal mixing of the alleles

Osmosis is a process in which molecules pass from semipermeable membrane.
Explanation:
Osmosis is a biological process. The solvent molecules pass through semipermeable membrane and then solute particles move through the membrane with the help of water. These molecules are not capable of passing through the membrane in absence of water.
C.) viruses need a living host to reproduce... this is cause by viruses being Dioxyriboneuclicacid(DNA) surrounded by a protien shell so viruses are not alive per say.... but they get into cells and use living cells to reproduce
