Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange. 
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.

Explain how drinking through a straw illustrates fluid flowing from high-pressure to low-pressure​
Vilka [71]

Drinking through a straw shows fluid flowing from high pressure to low pressure in 2 ways. The first is how it shows high pressure as you stuck on the straw. This increases the pressure and brings the fluid to your mouth. If this pressure is kept you can successfully pick up the straw filled with water and have none come out. This demonstrates low pressure when you stop ducking and the fluid falls back down the straw into your cup.

Advantages and disadvantages of each cell division
NeX [460]
Mitosis

Advantages: It enables your cells to multiply quickly and produce sister chromosomes.

Disadvantages: There is little genetic variation, each generation faces the same diseases.

Meiosis:

Advantages: The crossing over of genes during meiosis results in individual variety, which is beneficial to the population's survival.

Disadvantages: It requires the use of two gametes.

olasank [31]

The deer population would increase because nothing is killing them, but competition would eventually occur because they would have to start fighting against each other for resources to live.
