Answer:

When homologous chromosomes form pairs during prophase I of meiosis I, crossing-over can occur. Crossing-over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. It results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome. It is obviously another source of genetic variation in offspring.

Answer:

Crossing over ensures that organisms of the same parents have differences in genetic content making them unique in one way or the other.

Explanation:

This question is describing the process of crossing over, which occurs only during prophase I of meiosis. During the process of crossing over, alleles of a gene are exchanged between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes (mother and father chromosomes).

Hence, a unique GAMETE that has been genetically recombined will be formed. When these gametes are fertilized (egg) or fertilizes (sperm), organisms that are genetically different from their parents are produced. This ensures genetic variation, which is a difference in the genetic content of organisms.

A daughter cell that matures to the inside of the vascular cambium becomes ______, and a daughter cell that matures to the outsi

melomori [17]

A daughter cell that matures to the inside of the vascular cambium becomes secondary xylem and a daughter cell that matures to the outside of the vascular cambium becomes secondary phloem.

The cambium divides its cells to create secondary xylem and phloem. As secondary phloem and xylem tissue builds up, the stem becomes thicker and develops wood and bark.

The kind of xylem produced by secondary growth is known as secondary xylem. In contrast, during primary growth, the primary xylem develops.
As a result, lateral growth, as opposed to vertical growth, is connected with the secondary xylem, as opposed to the primary xylem.
The procambium, which is found between the xylem axis and the phloem pole, develops into the cambium in the root.
A pattern resembling the arrangement of secondary stem is produced when xylem forms in the core and phloem on the perimeter of secondary development.
