Identify a reason why meiosis leads to significant genetic variation while mitosis does not.

Biology
1 answer:
liraira [26]1 year ago
4 0
Because meiosis only has half of the genes.

In mitosis, the cell produced will have an exact number of chromosome like the parent cells. But in meiosis, only half of the chromosome will be given. That will make many variations since the chromosome is split in random. The process to split the gene doesn't include a process to making it move in the same manner so the gene position can be changed in the different case.

Four students were asked to classify the activities of the people in the picture below as examples of either potential or kineti
frez [133]

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{The first choice.}}

Kinetic Energy (1/2 · mass · velocity²) occurs when an object is in motion, or a force is occurring on the object. An example would be a car in motion.

Potential energy (mass · height · gravity ) is obtained when an object has the ability to do work. An example would be an object on a shelf. It has the potential to fall, and this would cause the potential energy to become converted into kinetic energy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the examples in the table,  we can sort them as such:

Girl swimming laps- Kinetic energy because the girl is in motion.

Boy on diving board - Potential energy because the boy is not in motion, but has the potential to be in motion.

Girl hitting volleyball - Kinetic energy because the volleyball is in motion.

Boy holding volleyball- Potential energy because the volleyball is stationary and has the potential to be in motion.

Therefore, the correct table is table 1.

Radiation can cause breaks in human chromosomes. However, insects can survive much higher lecels of exposure. Why?
galben [10]

Explanation:

The influence from radioactivity is inversely proportional to the number of chromosomes , since , humans have more DNA , chromosomes than the insects , and  therefore , due to less chromosomes in insects , they are more resistant towards radioactivity .

As the target of the radiation is the DNA .

Hence , It is clear that insect due to lesser DNA are less prone to Radiations .

You work for the WWF. Write a letter to the mayor of a small farm town to explain why this town is experiencing erosion, and why
horrorfan [7]

The letter should contain concerns about the causes and ill effects of erosion.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Sir,

I am very sad to inform you that the town of Hariharanpur is suffering from continuous erosion for the last 3 years. Even after having proper knowledge about this fact, you being the mayor, are not taking any charge of this situation.

The town is situated just by the side of River Ganges which makes it's soil full of moisture. Along with the repeated deforestation and tree cutting for urbanisation, the smallest of the rain falls are also eroding a lot of soils. This can lead to severe landslides in river Ganges with severe loss of properties as well as loss of lives too.

So i request you to start embanking the river as well as to start planting new trees to save the town from getting lost under Ganges.

Thanking you,

XYZ.

Which feature of the watson and crick model of dna structure explains its ability to function in replication and gene expression
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The correct answer is reciprocity or pairing of the bases.

Explanation:

The fact that bases are reciprocal to one another (thymine and adenine, cytosine and guanine) means that the same information contained in one strand is also found in the other one. This led to the fact that the DNA molecule is the one that carries genetic information.

What would be the impact on the nitrogen cycle if there were a decrease in decomposition in a given ecosystem?
Masteriza [31]
Because decomposition helps create nitrogen, a lack of decomposition would result in a lack of nitrogen being created.
