Which of the following is a result of the exchange of homologous chromosome parts during the process of meiosis? a offspring with unique combinations of traits
b decreased gamete number
c random mutations
d decreased number of alleles on each chromosome

a offspring with unique combinations of traits

Explanation:

This question is describing a process called CROSSING OVER, which is unique to meiosis. Crossing-over is a process whereby non-sister chromatids of a homologous chromosome exchanges a segment or portion of their chromosome. This process of crossing over occurs in the PROPHASE I stage of meiosis.

The result of crossing-over, if it occurs, is to promote genetic diversity among the species of an organism. This is because the exchange of chromosome segments produces an offspring with a unique combinations of traits. Alleles of a gene are recombined in such a way that a unique combination is produced via the process.

in the year 2850, humans successfully colonized mars. the martian modules that were constructed could hold only a small population of people. it is now a century later, and the population on mars has grown to 600 people. of the current mars population, 45 people express the recessive phenotype for phenylketon- uria (pku) syndrome (pp genotype).
