Answer:

Crossing-over

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that occurs only in sexually-reproducing organisms. It is the process by which they produce gametes. Meiosis is that division in which the number of chromosomes in the resulting cells are reduced by half. Due to this reason, meiosis occurs in a two step division process viz: Meiosis I and II.

Meiosis produces genetically different reproductive cells. This is as a result of a phenomenon unique to only meiosis called CROSSING-OVER. Crossing-over is a process whereby non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange a segment of their genetic material. It occurs only in Prophase 1 of meiosis where the TETRAD structure is formed. This exchange of genetic material causes a recombination of DNA in the resulting cell (gamete).

Crossing-over only occurs between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes, hence, it can only occur in Prophase 1. Prophase II involves sister chromatids.

Select all that apply. Factors that can increase mutation rates are _____. high temperatureslow temperaturesfood additivesUV ray
Artemon [7]
<span>Factors that can increase mutation rates are high and low temperatures, food additives, and UV rays. All of these answers are correct. Mutation rates in genes vary depending on many environmental effects. UV rays, along with varying temperatures, can cause mutations during cell division due to the damage they impart on the cells that are dividing. Dangerous food additives are believed to cause mutations, as seen in animal studies (ie. aspartame causing cancer in rats).</span>

A 20 kg box has been lifted 0.7m. How much work has been done?
Serga [27]
The work done is 137 joules.

Lifting opposes the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.8 m/sec/sec.

20 x 0.7 x 9.8 = 137 J (kg-m2/sec2)
