<span>Parents can pass on chromosomes to their children that are different than their own when the new gene combinations are created by crossing over. The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes is known as crossing over which occurs in meiosis. When homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange different segments of the genetic material. As the result, a new combination of genes will be formed. If there was not crossing over, all genes on a chromosome would be inherited together.</span>
Cacti and other succulents can adapt to dry climates. They are able to store water in their leaves, while others store water in the roots or trunks. The waxy cuticle helps prevent water loss.
Answer: The primary function of leaves is to collect sunlight, for use in photosynthesis.

Thank you,

Biodiversity affects humans by: underpins the health and has a direct impact on all of our lives. To summarize reduced biodiversity means millions of people face a future where food supplies are more vulnerable to pests and disease, and where fresh water is in irregular or short supply. For humans that is worrying.
