Ans.

The process that involves exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, is known as crossing over.  It occurs during meiosis I (between prophase I and metaphase I).

Crossing over is responsible for the variation in organisms as it makes new genetic combinations in the offspring that are absent in either parents and thus, contribute to genetic diversity.

Thus, the correct answer is 'crossing over.'

Evolution is:
fiasKO [112]
A, b, and c are all correct.

take for example finches off of the galapagos islands. they vary from island to island, yet are still the same bird. on one island they have bigger, more durable and stronger beaks, because that island has many nuts to crack open and eat. on another island, they have thin ling beaks, ideal for pecking at insects in the grass on tree bark. evolution is literally survival of the ifttest, where those equipped best will live and those without means to fight for life will die off, leaving those most capable of reproduction and passing down genes.
