From the earliest moments of life, the interaction of heredity and the environment works to shape who children are and who they will become.
The complex interaction of nature and nurture does not just occur at certain moments or at certain periods of time; it is persistent and lifelong.
Answer:
A. the root is continuing to grow so the cells are going through mitosis
Yes, crossing over does not occur during mitosis. As mitosis is simply the duplication of cells, there is no gene variation that comes from crossing-over.
In order for cells to become whole organisms, they must divide and differentiate. Cells divide all the time. That means that just one cell, a fertilized egg, is able to become the trillions of cells that make up your body, just by dividing. Those trillions of cells are not all the same though.
Just a little while after you started out as a fertilized egg, your cells started performing specific tasks, even started to look different because of that. Differentiation means that one cell performs a different function than another cell, depending on where it is in your body.
Not sure if this will help.
