Answer:

Explanation:

An introduced species, often referred to as exotic species or invasive species, is term that describes species of either plants or animals that are not native to the place ore area in which they are being introduced, either as a result of accident or deliberate movement by human activity or external factors.

Common examples of animals that are introduced species are:

gypsy moth in eastern North America, the zebra mussel and alewife in the Great Lakes, the Canada goose and gray squirrel in Europe etc.

Notable example of introduced species of plants are:

the kudzu vine, Andean pampas grass, and yellow starthistle.

Hence, Purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria, being native to Europe, and taken to United States, is considered to an introduced specie.

3. What is crossing over? When does it occur during meiosis? Why did you have difficulty modeling this element of meiosis using
FrozenT [24]
Crossing over happens in Meiosis 1 only. In Prophase 1 a cells chromatin (chromatin = chromosomes that have not condensed yet) condense and pair up forming homologous chromosomes (paired = XX (2 chromosomes together)). When this happens segments/ alleles of the chromosomes pairing up swap over. This creates genetic diversity as each chromosome is different, it has parts from its pair. This leaves every chromosome unique and individual.

I hope this helps, sorry some of the vocab is rather technical. By the way I would suggest watching the 'Crash Course: Meiosis' on YouTube, this really helped me when I was learning this topic. :D
