Biology

Crossing over is the process by which genetic material is exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis.



Crossing over results in a new combination of genetic information for the cell for a specific trait.



Crossing over ensures that organisms are not identical from generation to generation.



Genetic recombination allows for a variation in genetic material that is passed through the generations

A variation is a reference to the differences or deviations, such as the structure and form, as for crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

In winter, the forest is extremely cold. The roots of the evergreen plants are unable to access water. The needle-like structure of these trees minimizes water loss from transpiration. The needles are also dark in color. The color allows them to absorb maximum sunlight for photosynthesis. Even with little food, the animals in the biome can access food from these trees. Squirrels can eat the seeds from the pinecones. Crossbill birds have special beaks that allow them to access the seeds. Moose eat sappy twigs. They’ve also adapted to build fat reserves to help them survive the harsh winter. Some animals hibernate, and others migrate to warmer places to survive the winter. During summer, the long days allow abundant photosynthesis. So, there’s increased plant growth accompanied by increased insect activity. Trees with seasonal leaves develop new leaves. Birds that had migrated return during the summer, when food is readily available. The plants and animals work as a system to obtain an adequate food supply throughout the year.

The human body uses a variety of organic molecules as sources of energy. In what order does the body usually access these source
horsena [70]

There are 3 sources of energy, which are also known as macronutrients ,carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Of these three, carbohydrates are the body’s preferred source of energy. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, which is an immediate source of energy especially for the brain and muscles. The macronutrient proportions recommended for general, healthy diet are: 45-65% of energy (or calories) from carbohydrates, 10-20% of energy (or calories) from protein and 20-35% of energy (or calories) from fat.
