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.

xenn [34]

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds make water molecules spread out when they freeze. This makes ice less dense than water and allows ice to float. If ice did not float then oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, killing marine life by trapping organisms in the ice. When ice floats, it insulates the water below, keeping it at around 4 degrees C or 40F, which does not freeze and allows fish to survive the winter.
