Answer: D. It yields chromosomes that contain both maternal and paternal DNA.
Explanation:
The recombination or crossing over is a genetic process. It takes place during the Prophase I of meiosis. The homologous pair align and held together by synapsis. This results in the mixture of genes combination formed from both parents that can be represented as a single chromosome.
If the recombination do not occur then each chromosome will be either 100% maternal or paternal. Thus recombination assures the recombinant chromosomes which consists of genetic material from both parents. Thus the genetic diversity of offspring increases.
Human red blood cells are formed mainly in the bone marrow and are believed to have an average life span of approximately 120 days<span>.</span>
