Identify the DNA change shown in the diagram and explain how that change can result in the increased genetic diversity often seen among siblings.

I believe the options are:

A) The diagram shows crossing over. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the gametes produced in meiosis, by allowing for different allele combinations than present in the parents. This results in greater diversity in the offspring produced.

B) The diagram shows a chromosome mutation called translocation. Translocation introduces new traits into the gene pool of the gamete by trading genes between nonhomologous chromosomes. This results in greater diversity in the offspring produced.

C) The diagram shows crossing over. Crossing over introduces new traits into the gene pool of the gamete by trading genes between homologous chromosomes. This results in the formation of more diverse gametes.

D) The diagram shows a chromosome mutation called inversion. In inversion, a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end. Inversion rearranges the genes on a chromosome, providing more diverse gametes.

The correct choice is: A) The diagram shows crossing over. Crossing over increases the genetic variation of the gametes produced in meiosis, by allowing for different allele combinations than present in the parents. This results in greater diversity in the offspring produced.

Explanation:

Crossing Over:

an organism's phenotype is the  form of a trait  that it  displays. for  flowercolor, a pea  plant  can  display  a phenotype of purple or white flowers. an organism's  genotype  is the alleles of a gene it contains. based on his data, mendel concluded that a phenotype can be  determined  by more than one  genotype.

examples of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna).
