Answer:
A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>Food web.</em>
- <em>Exchange pool.</em>
- <em>Reservoir.</em>
- <em>Biotic community.</em>
The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.
<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.
Sister chromosome exchanges are recombination events that occur between homologous chromosomes and are often the result of exposure of the cell to DNA damaging agents.
Cross over, or recombination, is the exchange of chromosome segments between non sister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.
