A cell containing two identical copies of a pair of homologous chromosomes undergoes meiosis, during which the non-sister chromatids in that pair crossover, exchanging a gene that controls the rate of cellular metabolism. After the resulting gametes combine with others to form a zygote, what will the effect of this crossover be?

a. The metabolism of the new organism will be increased. b. The organism will have inherited a defective copy of this gene. c. Exchanging identical genes will have no effect on metabolism. d. The metabolism of the new organism will be decreased.
