Biology

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.

How can earths plates move
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Plates at our planet's surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down.

What is the most population city?
photoshop1234 [79]

The correct answer is - Tokyo.

The most populated city in the world is the capital of the East Asia island country of Japan, Tokyo. Tokyo is a huge city, in fact, the city itself has little more than 38 million people living in it, which is more population (compared one on one) than more than half of the countries in the world.

Tokyo is the center of Japan in any sense, but only in Japan, it is a city that has enormous regional, and even global influence in every aspect, making it an extremely powerful and influential city. With the projections made about the future populations of the biggest cities, it is expected that Tokyo will be holding the first spot as the most populated city in the world until 2030, and maybe even longer.

According to fossil records, the horses that lived 50 million years ago were much smaller, weaker and slower than modern horses.
Alina [70]

Answer:

Evolution by natural selection

Explanation:

Most probably, the trait of being small, weak and slower did not convey advantage (or was even a disadvantage) in survival in their environment. The bigger, stronger and faster horses had an advantage and were able to survive long enough to pass down their genes to the next generation, Over succeeding generations more and more horses, therefore, became strong, bigger and faster. This is the process of natural selection at work.
