Halophiles are extremophiles that thrive in environments with very high concentrations of salt. <span>Halophiles prevent this loss of water by increasing the internal osmolarity of the cell by accumulating </span>osmoprotectants<span> or by the selective uptake of potassium ions. Hope this helps.</span>

I do believe that it is C. crossing over :) I hope that is correct, it seems like the only plausible answer.
Answer:
Translocation
Explanation:
Translocation is a chromosomal defect in which part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome.
Translocation can happen due to many reasons like:
A) Some of the changes that arise around the time of conception or production of sperm or egg.
B) The inheritance of altered chromosome from father or mother.
Translocations can be divided into two forms:
- Reciprocal translocation
- Robertsonian translocation.
In reciprocal translocations, fragments of two chromosomes break off from two different places, break and swap each other's segments. While in Robertsonian translocation one chromosome attached with other.
Hope it help!
