A crossover that would result in genetic recombination (e.g., A b c or a B C) could involve which pair of chromatids? (Select all that apply.)

Consider a pair of homologous chromosomes heterozygous for three genes (e.g. A B C / a b c) during prophase I of meiosis. Let the sister chromatids of one homolog be numbered 1 and 2; and the sister chromatids of the other homolog be numbered 3 and 4.

A) 1 & 2
B) 3 & 4
C) 1 & 3
D) 2 & 4
E) 1 & 4
F) 2 & 3


C) 1 & 3, D) 2 & 4, E) 1 & 4, F) 2 & 3

Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. The presence of these organelles tells you that the environment ________
