Answer:

New combinations of genes.

Explanation:

Crossing over may be defined as the process of the  exchange of the genetic material of the homologous chromosomes between non sister chromatids . The crossing over occurs in the prophase of the meiosis.

The some portion of genetic material exchanges randomly on the crossing over. This causes the generation of the new combination of genes in the organism. The linked chromosomes shows crossing over between them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

2. Meiosis 2.

3. End.

4A. The chromosome theory of inheritance states that chromosomes are the main carriers of the genetic factors responsible for inheritance.

B. Body cells have two sets of chromosomes while sex cells have one set. Therefore, when two sex cells meet, they form an embryo with two copies of each chromosomes thereby producing a body cell with the exact number of chromosomes. In essence, meiosis maintains the right number of chromosomes of body cells by creating half the number of chromosomes of sex cells.

C. Meiosis.
