3. Mechanical energy is the energy used by organisms to function and move.
3. The conservation of energy is the process in which organisms use up the energy in a cycle where nothing is wasted.
Answer:
The correct option is A.
Explanation:
As we know that genetic variation that result from crossing over depend on the number of genes and their alleles. When there are more genes in genome the chances of polymorphic loci will increase, which will result into more genetic variation during crossing over.
Forexample:
Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly having diploid number of 8 chromosome composed of 122,653,977 base pairs, and about ~17,000 genes. Honey bees have diploid number of 32 chromosomes composed of approximately 2360000 base pairs, and 10,000 genes.
Conclusion:
As fruit fly genome contain more genes and polymorphic loci, so genetic variation is more likely to be greater in fruit fly.
