This type of mutation is called somatic mutation. It usually happens in different cells of the body, but not in the eggs and sperms. These mutation may cause cancer and other illnesses, but it cannot be passed on to future offspring.
Answer:
1. 50% of the genome comes from each parent because it is crucial otherwise if the ratio changes, the zygote may not form and if formed the fetus may have some other kind of chromosome number related syndromes etc.
2. Sexual reproduction produces greater genetic variability than asexual methods. This is because of the process of crossing over during meiosis that exchange the segments of chromosome that is necessary for producing mutations and genetic variability.
3. 50% of chromosomes match with each parent because both of the parents contributed 23 chromosomes and exactly 50% of their genome.
4. The gametes must be produced by two different individuals cause that is the main purpose of sexual reproduction and give better survival like this to the forming next generation. Not to mention produces greater genetic variability among species.
5. Plants always produces both eggs because they are hermaphroditic in nature.
2 geological features of Florida state making it fragile is the Everglades and its bio-diverse nature.
Explanation:
The Florida state is one of three Everglades in the world to be marked as such due to its tendency of being in drought condition all the time due its draining capacity and location in its southernmost parts.
The other environmental condition which the state faces, is the bio-diverse nature of the state. It has endangered species population of cougar. It has been marked as the protected area for the panther species. Alligators too have been listed in the state for the endangered kind. Rest fills up the circuity of the state.
C- Single-celled organisms and soft, boneless animals.
