Answer: B: Offenders engage in direct forms of violence.

Explanation: According to the Britanica Encyclopedia "White-collar crime, crime committed by persons who, often by virtue of their occupations, exploit social, economic, or technological power for personal or corporate gain". White collar crimes tends to refer to a crime committed by a bussinessman or bussinesswoman who are more likely to be middle aged or older usually by persons from the middle class and sometimes but not very often the lower class. Fraud, money laundering, stealing company funds and embezzlment are considered white collar crimes. It is often seen as less serious when compared to other crimes because it does not involve physical violence. Public order crimes are not associated to white collar crimes. Financal gain is the ulterior motive of white collar crimes.

White-collar crime have been associated with the educated and affluent ever since the term was first coined in 1949 by sociologist Edwin Sutherland, who defined it as "crime committed by a person of respectability and high social status in the course of their occupation", however, these crimes have ceased to be exclusive to such groups.

9 Why doesn't sexual reproduction produce identical offspring?

Aloiza [94]

Answer/Explanation:

Sexual reproduction is a a combination of chromosomes from each mate. Since each mate has different pairs, when combined they produce a completely different product.

This product has half of the characteristics from both sides.

Below is an example of how this works. The bold cells are from one mate and the other is from the other.

X ---> >< <--- X

As shown, the cells broke in half and combined with the other half forming a cell of 50/50. With this process it never created an identical offspring but different ones each time since different parts of the cell combines in different ways but still remains half of one and half of the other.
