Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange.
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.
I will have to say D) they keep the prey population low so they will be less likely to deplete resources such as food, water, and shelter... hope i helped!!
The last three are correct
Answer: Plants need animals for seed dispersal and pollination. ... Some animals eat plants. Some animals eat other animals. When animals die and decompose, the plants use the nutrients that were deposited back into the soil from the decomposing organism.
