Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

Fats produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP when metabolism.  The sugars and or starch is useful in the same method, they provide calories necessary for a seed or baby animal to grow. The sugars used in glycolysis and then the products of glycolysis used in  the citric acid cycle, and the starch can be cleaved into more manageable sugars.
