In more subtle ways, atmosphere-biosphere interactions influence the health of the air we breathe (see figure): rough surfaces of vegetation remove aerosols, ozone, and other reactive gases from the air through dry deposition; plants emit a huge variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are precursors to ..
Homologous recombination is a type of genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis (formation of ovum and sperm cells). ... This cross-linking produces an exchange of genetic material, which is an important cause of the genetic variability observed in the offspring.
