Why is meiosis important in maintaining genetic diversity?
Question 6 options:
A Meiosis creates diversity by cutting each chromosome exactly in half.
B The two different chromosomes of the organism producing the sex cell (egg or sperm) are mixed up during crossover, creating a new combination of alleles.
C It creates sex cells (eggs or sperm) that have exactly the same alleles (version of a gene) as the parents.
D The chromosomes in meiosis are copied so they are exactly the same as the organism producing the gamete, except they have just one copy.
Answers
Answer:
We now know that meiosis is the process of chromosomal reduction which allows the production of haploid germ cells necessary for sexual reproduction. Meiosis is furthermore important for its role in enabling genetic diversity and facilitating the repair of genetic defects through recombination.
Explanation:
Brainliest please?
Meiosis is a specialized form of a cell division in which number of chromosomes is reduced to half. The reduction in chromosome number is achieved by one round of DNA replication and two rounds of chromosome segregation.
Meiosis produces genetic variation by the process of recombination.Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material. The process of recombination occurs during the prophase stage of meiosis I. In meiosis, crossing over occurs between the non-sister chromatids in a homologous pair (one from each parent) of chromosomes.The correct answer is option B. The two different chromosomes of the organism producing the sex cell (egg or sperm) are mixed up during crossover, creating a new combination of alleles.
Other options-
A. Meiosis creates diversity by cutting each chromosome exactly in half - incorrect .In meiosis the chromosome number is reduced to half.
C. It creates sex cells (egg or sperm) that have exactly the same alleles (version of a gene) as the parents-incorrect. The sex cells produced are not genetically identical to the parent cell.
D. The chromosome in meiosis are copied so they are exactly the same as the organism producing the gamete, except they have just one copy-incorrect. In meiosis the chromosomes are not exactly copied.

In leopards, being shy (S) is dominant to being sassy (s), and being timely (T) is dominant to being tardy (t).
A female leopard that is
heterozygous for both the S and I trait mates with a male leopard that is also
heterozygous for both traits. Both the S and I traits assort independently from one another.
What is the probability that they will have an offspring that is sassy and timely?
Answers
The probability that the leopards will have an offspring that is sassy and timely is 3/16
This question involves two different genes. The allele for being shy (S) is dominant to the allele for being sassy (s) in the first gene while the allele for being timely (T) is dominant to being tardy (t).According to this question, A female leopard that is heterozygous for both the S and T traits i.e. SsTt mates with a male leopard that is also heterozygous for both traits i.e. SsTtThe two heterozygous leopards (SsTt) will produce the following gametes: ST, St, sT, and stUsing these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following proportion of offsprings will be produced: S_T_ = shy, timely (9)S_tt = shy, tardy (3)ssT_ = sassy, timely (3)sstt = sassy, tardy (1)According to this question, the probability that the two leopards will have an offspring that is sassy and timely is 3/16.Learn more at: https://brainly.com/question/7320771

1. John observed bacteria at 100X under the oil immersion and then decided to go back to 40X
objective by raising the oil objective a little to avoid the damage to objective lens. Critique his
technique. (1 pt.)
Answers
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
In the first instance, the 100X objective does not have any business touching the slide on the stage so that there would not be any reason to raise it a little in order to go back to a lower objective. At higher objectives, only the fine adjustment should be used to bring the object into focus so as to avoid the objective lens from touching the slide which can damage the objective and or break the slide on the stage.
For the X100 objective to be raised in order to avoid a damage to it, it means John allowed the objective to come too close to the slide in the first place. This should not have been so.

the production of carbon dioxide
the production of water
Answers

Request:
(Brainliest plzzz)
In this process, the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are she modelling, and the production of glucose. Thus, option "B" is correct.
What is the chemical reaction of photosynthesis?The chemical reaction of photosynthesis is given as follows;
6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) + Energy from light → C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂(g)
Six molecules of gaseous carbon dioxide (CO₂) combine with six molecules of liquid water (H₂O) in the presence of energy from Sunlight to produce one molecule of solid glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and six molecules of gaseous oxygen (O₂)
Thus, option "B" is correct.

Loss-of-function mutations in the coding region of the homologous gene in humans result in loss of hair, teeth, and sweat glands, as in the toothless men of Sind (India). What does this suggest about hair, teeth, and sweat glands in humans? Select the two correct answers. a) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda has been co-opted by evolution to control different aspects of development, as it does in sticklebacks. b) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that human Eda protein and stickleback fish Eda protein contain structurally similar DNA-binding domains. c) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda controls multiple aspects of human development, either directly by controlling each tissue type independently or by controlling a tissue that is a developmental precursor to the affected tissue types. d) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that human hair and teeth might be homologous to stickleback fish bony plates. e) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that hair, teeth, and sweat glands are homologous structures.
Answers
Answer:
c) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda controls multiple aspects of human development, either directly by controlling each tissue type independently or by controlling a tissue that is a developmental precursor to the affected tissue types.
e) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that hair, teeth, and sweat glands are homologous structures.
Loss-of-function mutations in the coding region of the homologous gene in humans result in loss of hair, teeth, and sweat glands, as in the toothless men of Sind (India). This suggestion in their hair, teeth, and sweat glands indicates that a) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda has been co-opted by evolution to control different aspects of development, as it does in sticklebacks. c) The phenotype of loss of Eda function in humans indicates that Eda controls multiple aspects of human development, either directly by controlling each tissue type independently or by controlling a tissue that is a developmental precursor to the affected tissue types.
Ectodysplasm A (EDA) is known as a transmembrane protein in the human body that is responsible for the development of ectodermal tissues of the human skin and teeth.
The cooption of Eda with evolution is likely to bring about changes in the development which results in phenotypic loss of Eda. Various genetic studies reveal the orthologous nature of the Eda gene, indicating a comparable method of development, and Eda plays a part in the control of embryonic ectoderm growth, which is essential for the formation of teeth, hair, as well as the sweat gland.
Therefore, we can conclude that Option A and C are both correct from the following options.
