Answer
A
They allow for traits to be present in many different combinations.
B
They allow for traits to be present in many different combinations.

E
Together they create a balance between what was separated in meiosis.
F
Together they create a balance between what was separated in meiosis.
G
Together they offset environmental factors that impact fertilization.
H
Together they offset environmental factors that impact fertilization.

Explanation

During meiosis, genes are reshuffled and each egg or sperm receives a different combination of chromosomes. Fertilization then combines genetic material from two parents, creating new combinations of traits. This explains why meiosis and fertilization allow traits to appear in many different combinations, rather than producing predictable outcomes.
