Answer:

G and K

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a genetic phenomenon that occurs in meiosis, specifically, Prophase I. It is when chromosomal segment (genes) are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Crossing-over occurs only to genes that are UNLINKED i.e. genes located on different chromosomes or far apart on the same chromosome.

This unlinked genes are said to have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY. Crossing-over allows genes on the same chromosome but far apart from each other, assort independently, which allows alleles to be recombined on the same chromosome. This phenomenon does not occur to genes that are close on the same chromosome as they will be inherited together as a unit.

In this case, G and K are the farthest apart, hence, they will have the highest RECOMBINATION FREQUENCY i.e. the likelihood for homologous crossing-over to take place during meiosis.

Dmitrij [34]

A i wrong because it says that they are similar.


B is wrong because archaea are phylogenetically similar to eukaryotes


C is also true because archaea are more phylogenetically similar to eukaryotes than bacteria


D is true because the Archaea did develop before Bacteria


so your answer is C because D says that archaea are different from bacteria because the archaea domain developed first, it does not say that they are dissimilar because of their appearance

How do volcanoes form at A?
zlopas [31]

At the place marked with the letter A we have a divergent plate boundary. On this type of boundary, the plates are moving away from one another. As they move away, they leave a gap behind them, and the crust is becoming thinner and thinner with lots of cracks in it. Because of that, the high pressures from the mantle manage to push upwards the magma with ease. The magma reaches the seafloor and it is pushing the crust upwards until it breaks it. As the magma pushes the crust upwards,underwater volcanoes are formed, and when the crust is broken by the magma, the magma flows get on the seafloor, cool of very quickly in the water, and create new crust.
