Answer: C: Prophase 1

Crossing over occurs in the first division of meiosis. Crossing over of chromatid pair occurs in PACHYTENE stage of PROPHASE I.

The crossing over is the exchange of genetic material. The crossing over takes place due to exchnage od DNA segments between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. This results in new allelic combinations in daughter cells.

Answer:

The correct answer is genetic drift.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of changing the frequency of an allele in a specific population with time is known as genetic drift. The mentioned gene variation or the modification in the frequency of the allele is required to take place abruptly so that the phenomenon of genetic drift can take place. The environmental factors do not play an essential role in the phenomenon of genetic drift to take place.

The process of genetic drift occurs generally due to random sampling of organisms, it illustrates the random change in the number of gene variants within a population. When the existence of the different forms of a gene, that is, alleles, enhances or reduces by chance with time within a population, the phenomenon of genetic drift occurs. Thus, the mentioned case is an illustration of genetic drift.
