Answer:

Crossing over increases the genetic variation  

Errors in crossover formation result in chromosomal rearrangements (duplications and deletions) and may also cause chromosome nondisjunction

Explanation:

Crossing over, also known as recombination, refers to the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the resulting gametes, allowing different genetic combinations to be passed from parents to offspring. Unequal crossing over is a type of error associated with chromosomal duplication and/or deletion events. Unequal crossing over occurs when homologous sequences are not paired precisely. Moreover, errors in crossing over may also cause chromosome nondisjunction, thereby leading to aneuploidies.

Gelneren [198K]

The presence of hydrogen bond is one factor that explains the fact that ice floats over water because it has less density.

Due to this, rivers and lakes freeze from the surface whereas it is in liquid state at the bottom which allows the sea animals to survive even in colder temperatures.

Water makes up at least 70% of earth and 65% of our bodies and this property of water is essential for our lives as it maintains the survival.
