The main benefit of crossing over is that it increases genetic diversity.

<h2>Crossing over and Genetic Diversity</h2>

Crossing over ensures that the daughter cells produced are genetically more diverse than their parent cells.

The exchange of chromosomal segments makes the chromosomes of the daughter cells to be more sophisticated than that of their parents.

Increased genetic diversity in daughter cells increases their chances of survival as more genes are present in their genomes that could potentially make them more adaptable to the environment.

In summary, crossing over increases genetic diversity and genetic diversity increases the chances of survival in the face of changing environment.

The tissue(s) that is/are considered excitable because of the ability to generate electrical signals is/are called ________ tiss
REY [17]

Answer:

Muscle tissue and neural tissue

Explanation:

Excitability refers to the ability of muscle and nerve cells of the respective tissues to respond to a stimulus and generate an action potential. Both muscle cells and neurons respond to a stimulus and convert it into the action potential.

Action potential refers to the electrical signal. Propagation of action potential along the membranes of these cells results in muscle contraction and functioning of neurons.

The membrane potential of these cells changes in response to the stimulus and the changed potential is propagated to the other cells.

The scientific name of the sugar maple is Acer saccharum. What does each part of the name designate?
irinina [24]

Answer:Acer represents the genus name while

saccharum represents the species.

Explanation:

In a way to classify organisms, biologists used certain important common features to structure them into groups. The arrangement of living organisms in this hierarchy from the highest level to the lowest is as follows:

Kingdom--> phylum-->class-->order--> Family-->genus--> species.

The largest group of organisms is kingdom while species is the smallest unit of classification.

The common name of the plant used in the question above is sugar maple. Biologist, however, use a standard system to name living organisms. Each kind of organism is given two names, hence the term BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE.

--> The first name is the name of the genus to which the organism belongs.

--> The second name is the name of the species to which it belongs.

Both names are printed in italics with only the genus name having an initial capital letter. Hence, the scientific name of sugar maple is Acer saccharum( in italics).
