Why do plant cells need a cell wall but animal cells do not
morpeh [17]
Cell walls are rigid which gives plants their shape. Animals have only cell membranes which allows animals to be flexible as animals are moving organisms. Plants, on the other hand, are sturdy and upright and are sessile organisms. Cell walls allow plants to grow upright as high as their maximum height and to be sturdy enough to survive harsh environments.

Which statement is true of crossing over?
Arada [10]

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.
