During meiosis I in prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material in a process known as crossing over. Each chromosome in a homologous pair carries different alleles (A vs a and B vs b) for the same gene. Which of the following statements best describes the significance of this process in genetic variation?

It guarantees that dominant alleles are passed on to the offspring.

It allows for the mixing of alleles, leading to new combinations of traits in offspring.

It prevents mutations from occurring in the alleles.

It ensures that all offspring will have identical genetic makeup.

Luna Lovegood is known for her unique personality and her ability to see Thestrals, magical creatures visible only to those who have witnessed death. Luna’s father can also see Thestrals, but her mother could not. Suppose the ability to see Thestrals is controlled by a dominant allele (T) and the inability to see Thestrals is controlled by a recessive allele (t). Which of the following best explains Luna’s genotype and how she inherited this ability?

Luna’s genotype is TT, and she inherited a dominant allele from both parents.

Luna’s genotype is Tt, and she inherited the dominant allele from her father and the recessive allele from her mother.

Luna’s genotype is tt, and her ability to see Thestrals is due to environmental factors.

Luna’s genotype is Tt, but her ability is entirely based on magical training.
