Answer:
D Independent assortment occurs when chromosomes separate during meiosis and causes variations that can be beneficial or harmful to a species
Explanation:
During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate and segregate independently of each other. This process is referred to as 'independent assortment'. In consequence, different gene variants or 'alleles' localized in homologous chromosomes segregate independently of each other during gamete formation, thereby one particular gamete has an equal probability to carry either of these segregating alleles. Independent assortment generates genetic variation in the gametes, which can be beneficial or deleterious in a given environment.
By the term "condensed", this refers to the density of a state of matter. As a rule of thumb, solids are the most dense because their molecules are very close together. Next is liquids because they flow compared to solids. The least dense are gases. Therefore, a change from a more condensed state to a less condensed state is boiling (liquid to gas).
Answer:
American's portion sizes have become larger in the last decade due to the expanding of food industries and marketing campaigns that tell us to eat more.
Explanation:
The growth of food industries in the last decades to obtain more money in combination with the media influence has led us to eat more, thus why the size of our portions has increased their size.
Another theory states that people always want to eat more, and the industry has only fulfilled this demand, but it is not clear why, in the past, this did not happen.
