Which process in humans would change if peristalsis would stop?
Peristaltic action is required by humans and similar animals which ingest and digest their food supplies in similar fashion. It is a pattern of muscular action along the intestinal walls and other parts of the digestive and excretory systems. The muscular action comprises "squeezing" of the contents so that they pass along the flexible, tubular intestine, whilst the other action creates lengthening and shortening of the "tube". This causes the contents of the "tube" to be passed along and ultimately excreted when you "have to go" to the toilet. As to what would change, that's a very theoretical question, the short answer to which is "they would die out", but this will not happen because natural development of species has designed the human body to work far more cleverly.
Functions include mixing food and serving as a reservoir prior to the food being passed on to the duodenum?
I believe that would be the Peristalsis. :)
What would be the result if crossing over didnt happen during meiosisin humans?
There would be less genetic variation in humans
What converts glucose into ATP?
Cellular respiration is the process by which glucose is turned into energy. Without this process, cells would not be able to divide and reproduce, meaning humans and other animals could not survive.
What would happen if peristalsis didnt occur?
If (for example) paralysis of the muscles of the intestines occurred after a big feast, the lack of peristalsis would leave the intestines passive and full of partially digested food, from which only a small amount of reabsorption of water would occur. The gut would then be blocked and you would have "the mother of all cases" of constipation! There might be some vomiting, and your abdomen would be very uncomfortable, and later, painful, and you would have a monstrous headache. It would be no fun going for a walk. Your body would be yearning for food, although your abdomen was full of what was originally nourishment. Liver function would be gravely affected, and you would eventually die (but I am not sure of the mechanism of these two effects).
Which process in humans would most directly affected if peristalsis were to stop?
If peristalsis were to stop, the movement of food through the gastrointestinal tract would be most directly affected. Peristalsis are muscle contractions that take place in the digestive tract.

What would happen without peristalsis?
The food would be stuck in your esophagus

What is the process that led to a greater diversity of coat colors in domestic horses?
The process that led to greater diversity would be selective breeding carried out by humans. Humans saw a color they liked and began selecting for it in their own animals.
