B) It was converted to energy and used up. <span>
The biomass was converted into ATP to be used as the source of energy. Hence, tn the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule has the energy to make up to 38 ATP. The ATP production is determined by the following steps, (-2 ATP) glycolysis preparatory phase, (7-9 ATP) glycolysis pay-off phase, (5 ATP) oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and (20 ATP) Krebs cycle. One glucose which has 38 ATP hence was the summation of all the process mentioned that took place. All these process take place under the cellular function of cellular respiration. </span>
I believe the answer is Transcription
Answer;
B) increased number of chromosomes in the offspring.
Explanation;
-Cross over is a process that takes place during meiosis. It occurs when homologous chromosomes pair up and the segments of chromosomes are exchanged between non sister chromatids, resulting to recombinant chromosomes.
-The process causes genetic variation among organisms due to exchange of genetic material. In addition to increased genetic variation, cross over may results to the appearance of new phenotypes in the offspring. Also cros-over mutations may cause harmful mutations.
Mosses and Ferns are two types of primitive plants.Mosses belong to the phylum Bryophyta whereas Ferns belong to the pyhlum Pteridophyta.Also Mosses are non-vascular plant whereas Ferns are vascular plants. Hoped it helped!
