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.

V125BC [204]

Considering the child's age and symptoms, it appears that this is an allergic reaction. It can be inferred that among the options, the food most likely to trigger these symptoms is peanut butter.

Peanut butter, in addition to having added sugar, hydrogenated or semi-hydrogenated fats, sodium and other additives, has proteins that our bodies recognize as "foreign" causing our immune system to react.

Peanut allergy is usually discovered in the early years of life, due to its high consumption in childhood, and especially affects babies and children who have asthma, rhinitis and sinus problems.

Explain how organisms and the environment cycle matter and energy through these process
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.
