Biology
1 answer:
jok3333 [9.3K]3 years ago
5 0
Crossing over happens in prophase I when the homologous chromosomes are sy naps ed. The two inner chromoatids exchanges sections with each other. This means that after the exchange the inner two chromatids have new combinations of alleles than their parents had. The two outer chromatids still have the parental combinations.So there are more kinds of chromatids ready to go into the gametes than there were before. This is an increase in variation.

topjm [15]

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.
