Which BEST describes how crossing over increases genetic diversity?

A
Crossing over increases genetic diversity because it prevents genetic mutations from occurring within the genes.

B
Crossing over increases genetic diversity because it ensures that offspring receive the dominant alleles for traits.

C
Crossing over increases genetic diversity because it results in new combinations of genes on each chromosome.

D
Crossing over increases genetic diversity because it creates an uneven amount of genetic material on the chromatids.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

new combinations means variations, and the more the variations there is of a species, the more diverse they are

Oseni

Crossing over increases genetic diversity by creating a new combination of genes on chromosomes.

What is crossing over?

Crossing over is the exchange of chromosomal segments between non-homologous chromosomes.

Genes are located on chromosomes. Thus, an exchange of chromosomal segments by non-homologous chromosomes results in chromosomes with a new combination of genes.

Crossing over happens during meiosis, the early stages of meiosis I to be precise.
