Answer: C. crossing-over

Explanation: <u>Crossing-over</u> is a process that typically occurs during prophase I of meiosis. During this phase, homologous chromosomes are held tightly together which enables the exchange of segments of DNA. Crossing-over is an important process because it introduces more genetic variation into a species.

What is the term for the breakdown of organic sediment into inorganic phosphorous?
Alchen [17]

This might refer to the phosphorus cycle.

Phosphorus cycle is a biogeochemical cycle that observes how phosphorus move through minerals, soil, water, and organisms. Typically, plants absorb phosphorus from the soil. And animals get phosphorus from the eaten plants. When these organisms dies, they decay and the phosphorus returns to the soil and inorganic matter.

Answer:

1. The physiological changes that will occur when someone lives at altitude for an extended period include increased production of more red blood cells.

2. The changes are advantageous as the person can survive lower altitude better and strenuous activities that interferes with breathing.

3. The specific physiological pathway that results in the changes described involves decrease in pulmonary ventilation at high altitude leading to hypoxia then hypoxemia. The body then produces more red blood cells to counteract the lower oxygen saturation in blood in high altitudes.
