B. The new chromosomes are different but share similarities with the parent chromosomes.
C. The new chromosomes are all identical to the mother's chromosomes.
D. The new chromosomes are completely unlike any of the parent chromosomes.

B.) The new chromosomes are different but share similarities with the parent chromosomes.

Explanation:

When crossing over takes place within a cell, two of the parents DNA gets mixed together in the process, thus forming an unidentical chromosome. However, this creates genetic variation which does form a new and completely different chromosome, but it carries some similarities with the parents originally. For instance, take green eyes for example. A mother may have green eyes and the father may have brown eyes. A sibling is born with hazel eyes (mixture of brown and green). Whereas one is born with green eyes. This proves the statement that the trait can be identical or alike to the parent or it can be a combination of the two chromosomes.

Hello there! :)

(Option B.) The new chromosomes are different but share similarities with the parent chromosomes.

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to remember a bit of the meiotic process, in this case, chromosomes recombine during meiosis so when the four haploid daughter cells complete their division the genetic load is similar to the parent but it has its own unique combination. This information is completed when both gametes join forming a diploid zygote with genetic information similar to parents but different, therefore we can say that the correct answer is B.

Hope this helps! :)

-Have an Awesome day!

Hmmm i'm not sure about this one

Answer from: Quest

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good

Why are small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer? a. the chlorofluorocarbons act like ultraviolet radiation causing large amount of ozone to be produced. b. the chlorine from the chlorofluorocarbons reacts with free molecules of oxygen causing a stop in ozone production c. free oxygen atoms can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, releasing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozone, destroying more ozone. d. chlorofluorocarbons absorb ultraviolet radiation, preventing the formation of ozone select the best answer from the choices provided

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.
