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.

List the 3 types of cell junctions and state which is the most and least permeable.

Zanzabum

1) occluding junctions
2) anchoring junctions
3) communicating junctions
Occluding junctions do not totally seal the space between cells and the resulting permeability varies greatly. I would say anchoring junctions are most likely with one of the other 2 junctions being least permeable.
