C. Halophile is the correct answer
Chromosomes exchange genetic material in step 3.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
The meiosis is the type of cell division that takes place for gametogenesis. The meiosis has two phases - meiosis I and meiosis II.
The meiosis I has the events like crossing over and independent assortment which leads to the mixing of genes between homologous chromosome pairs and separation of homologous chromosome pairs. So the two cells that are produced from the meiosis I are genetically different. The step 3 shows the crossing over of prophase 1 of meiosis I. So, it shows the genetic difference between the offsprings and leads to genetic variation.
B.the mass of carbon dioxide plus water is less than that of paper plus oxygen.
Answer:
The correct answer is "mutations to homologous genes".
Explanation:
The missing options of this question are:
A) morphology.
B) the pattern of embryological development.
C) biochemical pathways.
D) habitat and lifestyle choices.
E) mutations to homologous genes.
The correct answer is option E) "mutations to homologous genes".
Modern cladograms do not use physical characteristics to establish evolutionary similarities among species. Modern cladograms are constructed from evidence from molecular systematics based on similarities in mutations to homologous genes. The more similar are the homologous genes, the less different their genetic sequences are, and are considered more closely related in their evolutionary tree.
