Answer:

A. differentiation

Explanation:

Cell differentiation consists of a set of processes that transform and specialize embryonic cells. After these transformations, their morphology and physiology are defined, which make them capable of performing a certain function.

We call differentiation in biology the process that all living cells go through to specialize in a particular function. These cells, despite being differentiated, continue with the same genetic code as the first cell, and the difference between them is in inhibiting or activating certain groups of genes - these responsible for defining the function of each of them. This, in addition to determining its function, entails some changes in cell structure, as happened with the cell described in the question, which promoted a change in its structure by merging with neighboring cells to form a multinuclear tube.

What is the importance of crossing-over?
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

b.It increases the likelihood that daughter cells contain different genetic material.

Explanation:

Morgan and Cattell for the first time used the term ‘crossing over’.  Crossing over takes place during prophase I of meiosis. During crossing over, chromosome segments of non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes get exchanged. As a result, the daughter cells acquire different genetic materials. Thus, it provides genetic variation by creating a new combination of genes or get recombination and produces hybrids.
