Answer:

The correct answer would be crossing over.

Crossing over is an important event in which exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes takes place.

It occurs during prophase 1 (particularly in pachytene sub-stage) of the meiosis 1.

During prophase 1, the pair of homologous chromosome are aligned in the process termed as synapsis after which they exchange the genetic material at the points of chiasmata.

It results in formation of new combination of alleles in chromosomes which leads to the development of genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms.

In the United States the direction the continental polar air mass move South toward the Gulf of Mexico to replace the rising maritime tropical air mass.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Air masses are large bodies of air moving horizontally in a very uniform way. Continental polar air mass is an air mass that forms near the poles. It originates in northern Canada and Alaska and move south then East.

The continental polar masses are the causes for the severe cold weather in the South during the cold months. Maritime tropical mass are warm and have high moisture content. During winter it comes in contact with the continental polar mass hence getting stabilized.
