The two red chromosomes are the "same" chromosome but one is from the egg and one is from the sperm. These two chromosomes have the same genes but can have different alleles of each gene. Explain what this means in your own words. If it is helpful you can use the cookbook analogy from class to help you explain.

Prokaryotic evolution

The term evolution means the gradual change or a transformation from a simple or primitive state to a complex or advanced state. Prokaryotic evolution is a concept that involves the evolution of the form and function of most primitive organisms (prokaryotes) through several stages and changes to form diverse life as a part of organic evolution.
