Chromosomes exchange genetic material in step 3.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
The meiosis is the type of cell division that takes place for gametogenesis. The meiosis has two phases - meiosis I and meiosis II.
The meiosis I has the events like crossing over and independent assortment which leads to the mixing of genes between homologous chromosome pairs and separation of homologous chromosome pairs. So the two cells that are produced from the meiosis I are genetically different. The step 3 shows the crossing over of prophase 1 of meiosis I. So, it shows the genetic difference between the offsprings and leads to genetic variation.

Answer:
D)Lycophyta
Explanation:
The seedless vascular plants or the pteridophyte forms one phylum of the plant kingdom. The pteridophyte kingdom can be classified into three groups: the Sphenophytes, the pteridophytes and the Lycophytes.
The Lycophyte group contains about 1000 living species as it is the most primitive group of vascular plants.
The species is characterised by the presence of the microphyll like the Selaginella and Lycopodium.
The rhizoids of the gametophyte of these plants form the mycorrhizal association with the fungi.
Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
