The most likely consequence of the widespread lack of bees is loss or reduction of food. Majority of food depends on pollination and bees are major pollinators in the ecosystem, playing an essential role in food production among different type of plants. Bee’s declining population is mostly associated to excessive use of pesticides or toxicants in industrial agriculture as well as presence of different parasites or pathogens and even climate change.

And under everyone's name you write their alleles.
Punnett squares give the probability of someone having genes based on their parents' genes.
Parent1 (Aa) or Parent1 (aa)
Parent2 (AA) AA Aa Parent2 (Aa) Aa aa
AA Aa aa aa
Answer:
B. It allows for genetic variation.
Explanation:
As prophase progresses, homologous chromosomes come to lie side by side and become intertwined rather like a zipper. This process is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material between one another which allows for genetic variation. This exchange is called crossing over.
